If you extend the scope beyond Anglo, the issue gets even more
apparent.

Consider German, where you have a lot of in-word capitalization if you
consider compounds. For instance, changing the (often wrongly spelled)
word "ad-hoc-Aktion" to the orthographically correct "Ad-hoc-Aktion"
would give you "Ad-hoc-aktion" which is of course plain wrong. I could
select the a before issuing the function, but then, respelling it would
arguably be faster.

It is well possible that Libre and MS don't get this right either
(probably since they have an anglocentric concept of "a word"), but
that does not mean that we shouldn't.

So why not offer an additional function?
