The existing implementation didn't actually title-case, it just naively capitalized the first letter of each word. Also note that this is still not 100% on-par with cpython because it doesn't handle unicode titlecase characters, e.g. digraphs that consist of an uppercase and a lowercase letter. It looks like rust used to support this on nightly but removed it because they couldn't add corresponding methods on strings without a
unicode-segmentation
dependency. I'll see if I can extract that support into its own crate.Also note that I added the tests as rust unit tests; this is getting significantly less painful with recent refactors and I think we should do it more.
