[BRLTTY] Capitalisation in contraction tables?

Hi.
In german contracted braille, we usually do not use capsign except
in tests in school because german, contrary to english, has much
more capital words in a typical sentence.
Currently, the german contraction table just always outputs capsigns
as usual. I wonder if we should somehow introduce a capsign
mode so that the user could turn capitalisation off and on?
Should I create another alternative table that just doesn't
define capsign, or can we maybe add a capsign toggle to
the preferences menu?
Another somehow related issue is the order of capsign and letsign.
As far as I remember (hermann?), in german you are supposed to first write
capsign followed by letsign, i.e. 46-6-1 for a capital A that is not
a contraction. Currently, BRLTTY does it the other way round.
I tried to reverse the order of letsing and capsign in
de-basis.ctb but that doesn't help. Is there a way with the current
ctb files to achieve this?
