0.  emacs -Q
1.  Eval: (put 'upcase-region 'disabled nil)
          (put 'downcase-region 'disabled nil)
2.  Visit the attached file.
3.  Move point to just after the comma.
4.  Define a *rectanguar* region: C-x <SPC> C-n C-e
5.  Downcase the rectangular region: C-x C-l
6.  Repeat steps #3 to #5, but this time for upcasing the region
    instead of downcasing it ('C-x C-u' instead of 'C-x C-l').

The upcased text in the last step is not only the one marked by the
rectangular region.  The upcasing command acts as if a linear
(i.e. non-rectangular) region was active at that moment.
