the method capitalize on String objects seems to incorrectly capitalize the
first letter of the word, but then un-capitalize letters that might be
capitalized in the word, in other words it basaically does a swap:

>> s = "a String"
>> s.capitalize() 
'A string'

I would think rather it should be:

'A String'

Not a bug. CPython-20 does the same.
