Subject: bug#16190: 23.4; M-x captialize-word works incorrectly
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 00:35:41 -0500 [thread overview]

It occurred to me that there may be two separate "bugs", and me
conflating them.
First is "M-x capitalize-word has an incorrect docstring". That's been
fixed (or I should say, I take your word for it).
Second is "M-x capitalize-word does the wrong thing". Whether that's a
bug may be open to debate (I think it is a bug, or at least a problem,
obviously), but that hasn't changed.
