> Groovy has had a `capitalize` method since 1.8.2 but it does not have the mirror opposite: `uncapitalize`.  A few weeks ago I was working with string manipulations and was surprised by this omission.
> Based on http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/groovy-jdk/java/lang/CharSequence.html#capitalize() the rules for uncapitalize should be as follows:
> {code}
> assert 'H'.uncapitalize() == 'h'
> assert 'Hello'.uncapitalize() == 'hello'
> assert 'Hello world'.uncapitalize() == 'hello world'
> assert 'Hello World'.uncapitalize() == 'hello World'
> assert 'hello world' ==
>     'Hello World'.split(' ').collect{ it.uncapitalize() }.join(' ')
> {code}
