Macro question - uppercase

Macro question - uppercase

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

I have a macros which I use in a environment with uppercase letters
but I want to define them in my module as lowercase with namespace
and look for the best method to convert all of them from lowercase
to uppercase, below is what I have for the moment, is there a better
how I can do this (without \ascii)?

\unprotect

\def\saved!one{one}
\def\saved!two{two}

\def\savedcommands#1%
   {\edef\ascii{\csname saved!#1\endcsname}%
    \uppercase{\expandafter\let\csname#1\endcsname\ascii}}

\processcommalist[one,two]\savedcommands

\protect

\starttext

\ONE\ -- \TWO

\stoptext

Wolfgang
