Holy cow! All that just to change the case of words in a string?

The proc is a bit buggy at first glance. It's amazing it works at all.
It takes a string, does some string operations on it, then iterates over
it as if it were a list and performs list operations on it. Then, it
takes the list, performs string operations on it and returns a string.

Indeed, testing it out by copying it into a tclsh session, it _is_
buggy. If the first char is "-" it gets in an infinite loop.

Maybe you should file a bug with whomever wrote PROPER_CASE instead of
trying to work around its limitations.
