A thought:

Conceptually speaking, upper-case and lower-case are concepts that
have to do with letters, and making weird chars is a completely
unrelated feature. The \lowercase trick is what I would call an
implementation detail. With expl3 you have the opportunity to separate
the two concepts in the public interface. Give the weird-char
technique a different name... such as "bijective conversion".
