Nice. It lowercases a word char that follows an "'" that follows a word
without an intervening non-word char. It passes this test:
print(title("'time' isn't 'timeless'!"))
'Time' Isn't 'Timeless'!
It guess the reason not to bake this exception into str.title is that it
is language specific and could even be wrong if someone used "'" to
separate words (perhaps in a different alphabet).
Or, it doesn't handle exceptions.
print title("My name is D'Arcy")
Oops.
