Regex 101 Exercise I7 - Make sure all characters inside <> are uppercase

First, as Sheva pointed out, making them all *lowercase* would make a lot more sense, but you have probably noticed that the correlation between these exercises and making sense is tenuous at best.

Then, our MatchEvaluator is as follows:

static public string Evaluator(Match match)
{
return match.Groups[0].Value.ToUpper();
