While I have no particular wish to revisit this now, I will note that:

* Having two functions makes it harder to supply an standard key binding: we 
would have to select one of them since spending two key bindings is out of the 
question.

* As many other users I've bound M-u to upcase-dwim (etc) and not once has it 
bothered me that I can't upcase a word while marking a region.

* I'm not aware of any complaints whatsoever that the standard bindings for M-; 
and backspace force users to "worry about the region", 

However, peace and consensus is of higher importance and as far as I'm 
concerned this bug is closed, at least for now.
