Summary: unicode capitalize method does the wrong thing

Details: We went around with this one on python-dev some time back; I
stumbled accross the old mail and thought I'd add an entry here to make
sure it doesn't get forgotten again.

The problem:

>>> u'AaAa'.capitalize()
u'AaAa'
>>> 'AaAa'.capitalize()
'Aaaa'

Guido said the latter was correct.  No time for a patch from me today :-(
