-1.

Using the Method Finder, enter

     'hello'.  'Hello'

to see we already have #capitalized to do that.

Before introducing new API, always research existing nomenclature's.
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  :)
).  By contrast, the #capitalized API describes the nature of the object
itself.

Best,
  Chris
