Apparently, this function substracts 32 (20H) from the code of many
characters. It's correct for lower case letters, but a little surprising for
digits or punctuations. I don't know why this behaviour has been chosen. I
never use CAP myself but Strings.Upper, which works properly, but may be a
little slower.
