It just occurs to me that actually, the expression "titlecase" is quite
non-i18n-aware. The habit of "titlecasing" i.e. capitalizing first letters
of each word in a title, is specific to only few languages, e.g. English.
AFAIK, most languages don't have a special "titlecase", so using that
expression e.g. for Dutch is actually confusing. :)
