Uncapitalization is not a common use-case, but if you want to introduce it into Squeak, I'd suggest #uncapitalized instead of two new methods named "Upshifted" and "Downshifted". Those words describe the "procedure for obtaining a capital letter from a keyboard" (except "Downshifted," which only describes a car with a manual transmission, ready to burn rubber :) ).
