I'm not trying to change how anyone uses the term, except when it really is referring to book titles.

Also, I'm NOT SHOUTING at anyone (yet).

I know what regular expressions are, but the usage in that technical sphere is irrelevant to the usage in the book editor's sphere.

This is a tool used by book editors to edit text that is presented to the reader. Not to prettify code. The result has to follow the rules of book editors, not coders. If a book editor says title case, he does not mean "Finds Print Of Man’S Foot On The Sand".
