Is there a way to prevent typing lowercase with both capslock engaged and shift depressed?

We all know the drill: we forget that Capslock is on, then start a new sENTECE. Is there a way, in Linux (either console or X) to actually prevent the combination of Caps Lock and Shift from producing lowercase at all? For example, by a combination of options in /etc/keyboard or other tweaks?
