@Pihentagy: Besides, the current IS_UPPER() (and IS_LOWER()) is not that bad, IMHO. What is the real difference between alarm end user to change his input into upper case, or just silently change his input into upper case?
To say the least, we can really change IS_UPPER() to just warning, and perhaps another UPPERCASE() to uppercase. As long as the old apps do not really break, but just sightly change its behavior in acceptable range, I consider web2py is still backward compatible.
