Description
It would be awesome if there was an easy way to update legend labels to (e.g. to title or sentence case) if the original data has them in a less finalized looking case (e.g. from snake or camel case).
In other words, is there a way to simplify changing "group_a" "group_b" "group_c" to "Group A" "Group B" "Group C" in the legend?

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the legend label handling and reviewing how legend labels are currently derived; clarify the supported title- and sentence-case behavior for snake_case and camelCase values. Done means the requested examples can be transformed through a clear API without changing unrelated labels.
