Bug when working backwards in multiple-cursors

This is a brilliant interface! Thanks for the great package.

It even works with multiple-cursors… except when extending backward. Not a deal-breaker as one can move the cursors to do it if need be, but thought I should record this bug.

Here's a demo of what happens with three lines, and three cursors at the start of 'over'.

The quick brown fox jumps ^over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps ^over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps ^over the lazy dog.

Then type this sequence:
M-u M-u M-u C-b

The quick brown fox jumps OVER THE LAZY^ dog.
The quick brown fox jumps OVER THE LAZY^ dog.
The quick brown fox jumps OVER THE LAZY^ dog.

M-l

The quick brown fox jumps OVER THE lazy^ dog.
The quick brown fox jumps OVER THE lazy^ dog.
The quick brown fox jumps OVER THE lazy^ dog.

M-l

The quick brown fox jumps OVER the lazy^ dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over THE lazy^ dog.
The quick brown fox jumps OVER THE lazy^ dog.

It looks to be caused by the use of fix-word--quick-fix-times as a global variable. Perhaps there would be a way to increment that count only once, or divide by the number of active cursors, or look into how smartparens handles sp--mc/cursor-specific-vars… haven't dug into this too much, as I said any case switching can be performed in other ways right now.

How to correctly capitalize small words (a, an, the...) in the tittle.

According to this web site

All large words in the titles of movies, books, and other publications should be capitalized, while all small words (a, an, the, but, and, if, as, or, nor, to name a few) should not be capitalized unless they are the first or last words in the title:
A Life Less Ordinary (The word "A" would not normally be capitalized, but because it is the first word in the title, we must capitalize it.)
OR
War of the Worlds (The words "of" and "the" are not capitalized because they are small and are not at the beginning or end of the title, though exceptions to the "small words" rule do exist.)

So, how should we handle those scenarios when we capitalize words.
