`lower-case-p` character ⇒ generalized-boolean

`both-case-p` character ⇒ generalized-boolean

#### Arguments and Values::

character—a character.

generalized-boolean—a generalized boolean.

#### Description::

These functions test the case of a given character.

upper-case-p returns true if character is an uppercase character; otherwise, returns false.

lower-case-p returns true if character is a lowercase character; otherwise, returns false.

both-case-p returns true if character is a character with case; otherwise, returns false.

     (upper-case-p #\a) ⇒  false
     (both-case-p #\a) ⇒  true
     (both-case-p #\5) ⇒  false
     (lower-case-p #\5) ⇒  false
