Ah, capitalize. Thanks, Gavin.

But I would prefer your suggested name of titlecase or capitalcase instead.
It's a lot easier when you search using "ri case".

Of course, that is just my case, and i accidentally got lost..

kind regards -botp

If you need a more rigorous implementation of titlecase, see

FWIW, #titlecase is a distinctly different concept from #capitalize.
#capitalize downcases the entire string and then upcases the first character only.
#titlecase (as I wrote it) downcases everything, and then upcases the first letter of every word.
