>> 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

>> (i.e. non-rectangular) region was active at that moment.

Pushed to master.
