Yes, I believe that is exactly what I was doing. :-)  (Well, strictly,
I didn't know you wrote it, only that you committed it.)

I suspected something of the sort.  I've removed that code in my tree
and, if I have to deal with such a PROM, I'll figure something else
out.  (Maybe, as long as all the input is uppercase, it gets
lowercased, but getting a lowercase letter turns casefolding off for
that input line.  Or perhaps processing the input line lowercases it if
it's all uppercase.  Or maybe something else.  I'd have to see what
looks feasible.)
