[Framers] Small caps in paragraph numbering

The problem is Small Caps doesn't work at all if the character was
uppercase to begin with.  IMO it's a design flaw in the Small Caps concept,
but that's just me.  Small Caps won't work unless the text is lowercase.
And setting the chapter number to capital letters makes the variable hold
an uppercase value.
