Wrong again. Oracle also capitalizes the first letter after a comma,
semicolon, colon, period, and both a single and double quote. (And that's
all I've tested so far.)

So, I guess I need to write a program to test all possible combinations
to see how incompatible the function is.

Making this change will be a larger patch than I had initially anticipated.

That also brings into question whether this is really a bugfix or a
specification change, a question which is relevant since we're in the
feature freeze for 7.4.
