Description
As previously requested in ticket 2173 this is a modified version of _StringProper, it has been modified to return a Title Case string rather than a "Proper" string. Also, as requested by trancexx in ticket 2173, I am putting this in as a feature request rather than polluting the trak with confusing information. Currently, _StringProper doesn't return a properly formatted string if you're looking to make it Title Case, this replacement has been modified to have that functionality. Attached is the UDF and a short demo script to show its output.

I'd like to propose a secondary name for this UDF, as Title Case is so subjective in regards to usage. Instead of Title Case, I propose that it could be called Start Case, which is the style this is actually altering the incoming sentence into. According to the Wikipedia article on letter case, start case is the capitalization of the first letter of every word regardless of the part of speech of the word.
