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.

Description

after modules enhancement

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.
