+// Lower-case ASCII 'a' is the first byte that has its highest bit set

+//     b'a' + 0x1F == 0x80 == 0b1000_0000
+//     b'z' + 0x1F == 0x98 == 0b10011000
+//
+// Lower-case ASCII 'z' is the last byte that has its highest bit unset
+// after wrap-adding 0x05:
+//
+//     b'a' + 0x05 == 0x66 == 0b0110_0110
+//     b'z' + 0x05 == 0x7F == 0b0111_1111
+//
+// … except for 0xFB to 0xFF, but those are in the range of bytes
+// that have the highest bit unset again after adding 0x1F.
+//
+// So `(byte + 0x1f) & !(byte + 5)` has its highest bit set
+// iff `byte` is a lower-case ASCII letter.

+// Lower-case ASCII letters all have the 0x20 bit set.
