TitleMunger could provide directory path information

[cjcodeproj]

The TitleMunger class manipulates title strings to provide alternate representations of the data.

Film Title	Sort Title	Unique ID Title	Catalog Title
V. I. Warshawski	vi_warshawski	vi_warshawski-1991-1	V.I. Warshawski (1991)
The Whole Nine Yards	whole_nineyards+the	whole_nineyards+the-2000-1	The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
3:10 To Yuma	three_ten_to_yuma	three_ten_to_yuma-1957-1	3:10 To Yuma (1957)

One variant that was created (but not documented) was a filename suitable string, which would be suitable if the data needed to be written out into a file.

Film Title	Sort Title	Unique ID Title	Catalog Title	Filename
V. I. Warshawski	vi_warshawski	vi_warshawski-1991-1	V.I. Warshawski (1991)	v_i_warshawski
The Whole Nine Yards	whole_nineyards+the	whole_nineyards+the-2000-1	The Whole Nine Yards (2000)	the_whole_nine_yards
3:10 To Yuma	three_ten_to_yuma	three_ten_to_yuma-1957-1	3:10 To Yuma (1957)	310_to_yuma

If an operation generates a large number of files (one file per content title), it would be beneficial to have a tree structure to prevent a single directory having all of the files. For building repositories, we already recommend a tree structure based on the title, so we could add a method to TitleMunger that figures out the path.

Film Title	Sort Title	Unique ID Title	Catalog Title	Filename	Directory Path
V. I. Warshawski	vi_warshawski	vi_warshawski-1991-1	V.I. Warshawski (1991)	vi_warshawski	v/vii
The Whole Nine Yards	whole_nineyards+the	whole_nineyards+the-2000-1	The Whole Nine Yards (2000)	the_whole_nine_yards	w/whs
3:10 To Yuma	three_ten_to_yuma	three_ten_to_yuma-1957-1	3:10 To Yuma (1957)	310_to_yuma	3/31a

The path expression is based on the first letter of the first word in the title (unless that word is an article like 'the' or 'a'), followed by the first two letters and then the last letter of the title.

Create a method in the TitleMunger class to generate the path information and return it as a string.
