See -help f_proper-
proper(s) returns a string with the first letter capitalized and
any other letters
immediately following characters that are not letters
capitalized, and all
other letters converted to lowercase.
proper("mR. joHn a. sMitH") = "Mr. John A. Smith"
proper("jack o'reilly") = "Jack O'Reilly"
proper("2-cent's worth") = "2-Cent'S Worth"
