I vote for doing nothing in the up/down case options as those are
frequently just used to get a cannonical form for comparison.
Although I could understand an argument for throwing an exception...
People better not be using binary data as a canonical form for 
comparison. That's really, really a bad idea.

I think Nick's right -- a conditional exception's in order.

 What should happen when it's told to upcase/downcase/titlecase
 itself? (You may assume that we have strings which are explicitly
 marked at least Unicode, so there is a difference between STRING*
