Transform Strings with Case Mapping or Folding
These functions transform strings either to lower case, UPPER CASE, or Title Case or perform case folding.

Vectorized over str.
ICU implements full Unicode string case mappings. It is worth noting that, generally, case mapping:
can change the number of code points and/or code units of a string,
is language-sensitive (results may differ depending on the locale), and
is context-sensitive (a character in the input string may map differently depending on surrounding characters).
With stri_trans_totitle, if word BreakIterator
is used (the default), then the first letter of each word will be capitalized
and the rest will be transformed to lower case.
With the break iterator of type sentence, the first letter
of each sentence will be capitalized only.
Note that according the ICU User Guide,
the string 'one. two. three.' consists of one sentence.
Case folding, on the other hand, is locale-independent. Its purpose is to make two pieces of text that differ only in case identical. This may come in handy when comparing strings.
For more general (but not locale dependent)
text transforms refer to stri_trans_general.
Each function returns a character vector.
