Next issue:  WordUtils.capitalize/uncapitalize/capitalizeFully/initials
all should IMO have their (String) + (String, char...) variants
merged, but the methods bearing the (String, char...) are currently
defined to return the first argument if the second argument has a
length of zero (though, to support the (String) signature, not if the
array reference is null).  In order to make this change we would have
to come to a consensus to make empty arrays behave as null ones.
