Blizzara opened a new issue, #1052:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/1052
### Describe the bug
DataFusion's initcap behaves differently than Spark's. While both do
"upper-case the first letter of each word and lowercase others", Spark
considers as words anything separated by whitespace (' '), while DataFusion
considers anything separated by non-ascii-alphanumeric as words. (DF's code
would also fail to uppercase or lowercase non-ascii chars, but that doesn't
materialize as a separate issue as it considers them separators already in the
first place.)
https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/1051 shows the problem by
adding two cases to the test, one using a dash and one using non-ascii letters
(from Finnish).
