I agree. If the documentation notes this issue, and the (possibly new) Python user has to replace the .title() with a different function that uses regular expression and a lambda function to work around the issue, then perhaps it's time for a proposal to address this. Perhaps there needs to be an optional argument to .title() which if supplied should tell it do the workaround. Or, perhaps better, only capitalize the first word and subsequent words that are preceded by a white space. That should solve "Someone's Apostrophe" and "Hyphenated-expressions". Someone who looks into this should check if the second part of a hyphenated expression needs to be capitalized.
