Code:

{define-macro public {uc ?txt:text}
    {return {expand-template {{String ?txt}.to-upper-clone}}}
}

{define-macro public {ucv ?txt:verbatim}
    {return {expand-template {{String ?txt}.to-upper-clone}}}
}

{define-macro public {uctk ?txt:token}
    {return {expand-template {{String ?txt}.to-upper-clone}}}
}

{define-macro public {uce ?txt:expression}
    {return {expand-template {{String ?txt}.to-upper-clone}}}
}

{define-macro public {ucs ?txt:statement}
    {return {expand-template {{String ?txt}.to-upper-clone}}}
}

{uc  "this quoted text will print in caps without the quotes"}
{br}
{ucv  "this quoted text will print in caps without any quotes"}
{br}
{uctk "this quoted text will print in caps without any quotes"}
{br}
{uce  "this quoted text will print in caps without any quotes"}
