The initcap function can work pretty well in a lot of cases but those
exceptions can be major. I remember there being discussions on this
list about how does one handle names starting with Mc or Mac. At the
time the original post came in I was dealing with some strings that
included the degrees MD and PhD and I know of no way initcap will
handle those correctly.
