The title case function is a bit naively implemented, and could be vastly
improved by pulling in some functionality from other titlecase tools.
Some things (I think) it doesn't cover:
- small words shouldn't be capitalized (a, an, the, and, etc.), except
when they are the first word in the string ("A Walk in the Park")
- words like "Q&A" and "AT&T" should work
- apostrophes: "AT&T's Network", "O'Donnell", "Don't"
- hyphenated words: "Dangerously-Endowed"
- Mc: "McDonald's"
It would also be great if it had a variable that could contain words that
should be uppercase, such as:
TITLE_BIG_WORDS = ("FBI", "CIA", "SEC", "EFF",)
There are some good reference implementations of this, but probably the
best is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/titlecase.py
