This is a feature request.

Unlike functions `downcase-region' and `upcase-region',
`capitalize-region' doesn’t  work on non-contiguous-regions
(rectangles), and does not have an optional argument
REGION-NONCONTIGUOUS-P.

Please add this feature. Thank you.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Thanks for implementing that. While checking the surrounding code I noticed that 
upcase-initials-region could use the same improvement; also, there were some 
longstanding potential infloops and crashes in the noncontiguous region code. So 
I installed the attached further patch.
