[issue8347] string capitalize erroneously lower-case any non-first letters

[Martin]

New submission from Martin <famart80 at gmail.com>:

When the following is run:
  s='the Los Angeles Symphony';
  s.capitalize();
it displays 'The los angeles symphony'
instead of 'The Los Angeles Symphony'

the str.capitalize() should only deal with the first letter, not lower-case the rest of the letters. The manual correctly describes this, but the actual behavior is not consistent with this description.
