Capitalizes the first letter of a string.

Capitalize the first letter of the string and then add it with rest of the string. Omit the lower_rest parameter to keep the rest of the string intact, or set it to True to convert to lowercase.

def capitalize(string, lower_rest=False):
  return string[:1].upper() + (string[1:].lower() if lower_rest else string[1:])

capitalize('fooBar') # 'FooBar'
capitalize('fooBar', True) # 'Foobar'
