This file sets \catcode, \lccode, and \uccode for a bunch of Unicode
characters so that they'll be considered "letters" by TeX, and so that
operations like \uppercase will do the right thing with the extended
Latin/Cyrillic/Greek alphabets, not only with ASCII. (This also means
you could use \cøntrølséqüeñçe as a control sequence if you really
want....)
It doesn't redefine any of the standard TeX macros or special
characters, though.
