Subject: [PATCH] Titlecase the first-of-word code point without leading
 adjustment
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

case::{title,capitalize}_wtf8 pass a single first-of-word code point to
TitlecaseMapper::titlecase_segment. Under the default Auto leading
adjustment the mapper looks for a Letter/Number/Symbol/Private_Use head
and skips anything else, dropping the titlecase mapping of cased marks
such as U+0345 (COMBINING GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI) -> U+0399: 'ͅ'.title()
returned 'ͅ' instead of 'Ι'. Use LeadingAdjustment::None so the
given code point is titlecased directly, matching CPython str.title and
str.capitalize.
