I had the occassion to want the equivalent of EMACS Meta-C command in
format (also Meta-L).  The case in point was some routine returned
an uppercasified string which I wanted to print in lowercase, or
initial-letter-capitalized.  Does this exist?  If not, would it
be reasonable as a modification of ~A (i.e. : means lowercasify,
@ means upper casify, and :@ means Meta-C -- or is this syntax
already used?)?  I think this would be more terse than putting
a function call around the argument.  Also, I wanted this in MACLISP.
