::::: Yes, it makes sense. However, if a computer language (via some intrinsic feature and/or a BIF) can't determine if a character is a upper- or lowercase version of a character (letter), then it probably should be omitted from this task. Saying that, I have no qualms if someone were to write an ''ad hoc'' function to perform the test in an idiomatic way so that it achieves the same purpose, albeit that it isn't part of the language description. I feel that a language shouldn't be excluded from this Rosetta Code task just because there is no built-in language feature or BIF to perform the test idiomatically. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:35, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
This task may need further clarification, for while the description clearly defines "letter" as only the English (ASCII) letters, many of the solutions are displaying large numbers of non-ASCII Unicode letters. And one can see why they might, given both the title of the task (which says "all letters") and the mention of such ASCII extensions as EBCDIC.
