Easy way to emulate str 'capitalize' function? Since such is not part of the core of MP?

Something like s[0].upper() + s[1:] ? Or are you asking how to add this to micropython?

Simething like:
>>> s="the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
>>> " ".join([w[0].upper() + w[1:] for w in s.split()])
'The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog'
Edit:
Or to exclude 1 character items from capitalization:
" ".join([w[0].upper() + w[1:] if len(w) > 1 else w for w in s.split()])

Serves me right... right after I posted the question... I remembered the upper() trick. Thanks guys, for the examples, validation appreciated. Adding it to MP? Nah, not sure there is a need when the upper trick works. Would adding it to MP really save resources over the upper() trick?

I would say no, given that memory is a scarce resource at micros. Because it is rarely requested and easy to implement.
