Current Python strings DO have .istitle() -- it means "the first letter
of each substring made of letters is uppercase, all the other letters
in the substring are lowercase".  (It also means the string DOES
have some letters -- I always find it quite tricky that all the string
iswhatever methods return False when called on an empty string).

>>> "Pol23Zap And Plee+Kuup!".istitle()
True
