Initial words in all caps are sometimes not cased properly #90

titlecase('FOO bar') returns FOO Bar, while titlecase('FOO BAR') returns Foo Bar.

This is by design. If a string is all caps (or all lowercase), it is assumed there is no intentional casing and it is titlecased as such. If there is already mixed case and a word is all uppercase, it is assumed that word is an acronym, and it is left unchanged.
