May I note that LaTeX 2e has a capital letter geman sharp s since 1992 in
its standard T1 encoding. It is implemented as a "SS" glyph in the
standard fonts.

It is needed for several purposes:
* To keep hyphenation of all capital words correct (sharp s cannot be
  hyphenated, SS can) (TeX's hyphenation is pattern based)
* To keep \uppercase and \lowercase clean.
