Description
I expected to find the basics lcfirst and ucfirst string functions in the utilsString helper, but nothing. Are they somewhere else in underscore?
I don't use underscore yet, not really but I want to. And I also don't understand how extends underscore with underscore-contrib server side with node.js. Client side is easy, simply import the contrib script but there is no example about server side!
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the utilsString helper and searching the repository for lcfirst and ucfirst. Then review the Node.js server-side extension setup for underscore-contrib and any existing client-side example. Done would require documenting where these helpers live or clarifying their absence, plus a server-side usage example if supported.
