Some of the commands for changing the case of human-language text do
not recognize the apostrophe character, causing unexpected behavior:
`M-c' (`capitalize-word') does not capitalize a word that is preceded
by an apostrophe when the cursor is at or before the apostrophe;
instead, the cursor moves to just after the word but the word is not
capitalized.
For example, if the cursor is at the beginning of the following line
in an English-text buffer:
'cause that's just how it is.
Typing "M-c" moves the cursor to the space just after the first word,
but the first word will not be capitalized.
`M-u' (`upcase-word') continues past a word's trailing apostrophe.
For example, if the cursor is at the beginning of the following line
in an English-text buffer:
mit's
Typing "M-u" moves the cursor to just after the "'s" and both the word
and its trailing "s" is converted to uppercase letters.
