\Word and friends

\Word and friends

After \def\Example{example}
	\Word{\Example} gives example
So I need
	\expanded{\Word{\Example}} to get Example
but
	\WORD{\Example}} does give EXAMPLE

I did not expect that.
Is this the intended behaviour?

Well, expanding the argument of \Word automatically would not
always be safe, so I guess it is unavoidable in current \TeX
(the problem is that the \uppercase primitive is not expandable).
