Why does titleize remove hyphens?

Rails
1

item.title = ‘alpha-bravo’
item.title = item.title.titleize
puts item.title

alpha bravo

I didn’t notice this with 1.0 - a new bug in 1.1?

I’d say feature, not bug. Inflector.titleize calls function underscore,
which
translates - to _ and then calls function humanize which converts
underscores to
spaces…

Bleh, bug IMO. I can understand converting underscores to spaces, but
not hyphens. Plus, titleize screws up apostrophes:

Submitted (for the apostrophes part, anyway):
