Needed a couple of function/regexp pairs which where named right-down the 
alphabet, up/downcased again and so on.

For the latter command `reverse-chars' exists already:

(defun reverse-chars (&optional arg)
  "Reverse reciproke chars as \"[\" to \"]\", upcase or downcase,
Switch `\"' with `''

If over a number, add ARG to it.
With negative arg, substract from number.
