It might be painful, but I'd change the names `uppercase` and
`lowercase` to be more specific about just affecting the first
character. With the current names it's ambiguous whether they convert all the letters, just the first one, or something else.

(I found myself wondering why you didn't just use String#capitalize
instead of creating your own uppercase method, but then I found
#capitalize has the surprising [to me] feature of lowercasing all
non-initial letters... so the standard library is not immune to this
kind of naming ambiguity.)

Sounds good to me.
