The following seems unexpected to me, although there may be use cases
where it's expected behavior (e.g. if you have all capitalized text and
want it titled). See also #21299.
{{{
>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import title
>>> title("ABC News")
u'Abc News'
}}}

Comment:
That behavior is consistent with python's `str.title` method [1].
Django's `title` function has two features on top of `str.title`:
* `title("isn't it") == "Isn't It"` (whereas `"isn't it".title() == "Isn'T
It`)
* `title("8foo") == "8foo"` (whereas `"8foo".title() == "8Foo"`)
I don't think we can fix this particular issue without breaking backwards-
compatibility so I think documenting it is the best course of action.
