Comment:
As pointed out by Malcolm, the initial example is rather artificial and
doesn't warrant a change.
Furthermore Django handles correctly the example given in comment 7:
{{{
>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import title
>>> m = "something ain't right here"
>>> title(m)
u"Something Ain't Right Here"
}}}
(There's some specific code to handle the apostrophe, and it appears in
the patches uploaded above, which means it already existed when this
ticket was opened.)
----
Absent a sufficiently convincing use case to break backwards
compatibility, and given the lack of interest for this ticket over the
last three years, I think we'd better keep the current implementation and
I'm going to close this ticket.
It's easy enough to implement your own `title` tag if the builtin doesn't
match exactly your requirements.
