This is a lot older than those OS's... it dates back to the times when
you were lucky to find a terminal at all, and if it had no lower/uppercase
capability, you had to make do.

See "fossil" in http://www.instinct.org/texts/jargon-file/jargon_21.html
and "Configuration Options and Arguments" in
http://dune.mcs.kent.edu/cgi-bin/man2html?getty(1M) and IUCLC and OLCUC in
"man termios".
