That looks sort of dubious alright. Way too many classes and wrappers
here. Its unclear to me whether that characterclassifcation thing is
intended to just operate on characters and convert all of them to a
given case, in which case its broken for title case since
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=30863 or whether its
really supposed to do what it does now, which doesn't make a lot of
sense either.

Looks like TransliterationWrapper in unotools is the "route" to that,
e.g. utl::TransliterationWrapper aTrans(factory,
TransliterationModulesExtra::TITLE_CASE);

where the call to the ctor for Transliteration_titlecase is hidden away
inside TransliterationImpl::loadModuleByName. Putting a breakpoint on
Transliteration_titlecase::Transliteration_titlecase and using the
"format->change case->Capitalize Every Word" in writer gives the bt for
it.

Its all the usual overengineered horror :-)

fwiw that utl::TransliterationWrapper has a sentence case mode.
