To be honest, pattern can be set to lower or upper case, it doesn't matter.
But for bad_shift, we should add one more array for diffrence of case.
So bad_shift array should have both of lower and upper.

Therefore, at here, this makes bad_shift for upper case,

At here, this makes bad_shift for lower case.
