Yeah, that sounds like a better solution.  It basically means that all
code that does code conversion (for protocol reasons) will need to be
wrapped with that binding, and there's a lot of it in Emacs -- I'm
guessing there's more code that needs wrapping than needs to be
unwrapped.

Which is a pain.  But I guess just having interactive cases of
`downcase' and friends heed the case table, and otherwise ignore it,
isn't really workable either?  That'd be a lot less code to fix.
