I used char->integer and integer->char, and I wrote "rotate" to take in the number as well as the character, so I had to deal with positives and negatives, wrapping around more than once, staying within the same case, etc.  And I haven't played with regexps in Racket much, so I used string->list, map, and list->string.

I finally made myself learn a little about regexps for Level 4 (which involved pretty minimal matching, but I thought it was a good excuse).
