--------------------------------------

             Summary: Missing uncapitalize method
                 Key: GROOVY-7472
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7472
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: groovy-jdk
    Affects Versions: 2.4.3
            Reporter: Andres Almiray
            Assignee: Guillaume Laforge
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.5.0-beta-1


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}
