what? setting uc/lccode tables? that would require a further primitive
to specify the language (and probably also writing scheme -- i'm not
enough of a linguist to know), since the meanings and relations of
glyphs differ in some languages.
type example:
in english, the uccode of i gives you I
in turkish, the uccode of i gives you \.I
(and the lccode of I gives you \i)
