This assumes, of course, that there is a function swapcase which can

   str.swapcase("foO")
   'FOo'


I suppose for this discussion it doesn't matter if it's imperfect.



What was imperfect?

It doesn't invert, the way numeric negation does.


What do you mean by 'case inverted'?

It looks like it swaps the case correctly between upper and lower.




And if you try to
define exactly what it does, you'll come right back to
isupper()/islower(), so it's not much help in defining those.
