Text Formatting ⇒ Force all uppercase

[jgassens]

Is there a way to force a string to be all uppercase which is something as easy as:

\makethisstringuppercase{I typed a rather long sentence in lowercase and now would like it to be in uppercase without having to retype the sentence.}

?

\uppercase and \MakeUppercase appear to work for my needs. Nevermind.
