Hi.

In german contracted braille, we usually do not use capsign except
in tests in school because german, contrary to english, has much
more capital words in a typical sentence.
Currently, the german contraction table just always outputs capsigns
as usual.  I wonder if we should somehow introduce a capsign
mode so that the user could turn capitalisation off and on?

Should I create another alternative table that just doesn't
define capsign, or can we maybe add a capsign toggle to
the preferences menu?

Another somehow related issue is the order of capsign and letsign.
As far as I remember (hermann?), in german you are supposed to first write
capsign followed by letsign, i.e. 46-6-1 for a capital A that is not
a contraction.  Currently, BRLTTY does it the other way round.
I tried to reverse the order of letsing and capsign in
de-basis.ctb but that doesn't help.  Is there a way with the current
ctb files to achieve this?
