-- conveniently shifts BLAH to Blah
-- Takes an input string and returns the same string with title case-like
-- Handy when formatting data in ALL CAPS or all lower case
-- formatting (that is, the first letter of every word becomes uppercase,
-- while the remainder becomes lowercase)
-- Examples:
-- titleCase('ALL CAPS') = 'All Caps'
-- titleCase('all lowercase') = 'All Lowercase'
-- titleCase('A MiXTUre') = 'A Mixture'
-- Note that non-alphanumeric characters are treated as a word boundary, so:
-- titleCase('a!b(c)d') = 'A!B(C)D' (not 'A!b(c)d')
