Rails core - May 2014 - ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper#label should provide formatting option

The default
behavior<https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionview/lib/action_view/helpers/tags/label.rb#L53-L55>for
generating label text in a form is to utilize
Model.human_attribute_name(:attribute). This decision, and it's potential 
downsides, are referenced in
#6489<https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/6489>
.

In many cases I would prefer to use another ActiveSupport::Inflector(perhaps 
titleize) but cannot do this. I would either have to hard code the value 
into the label tag or enumerate the value in my locale. Both are 
inefficient given that I am content with the output provided by 
ActiveSupport::Inflector#titleize.

I would like to see ActionView::Helpers::Tags::Label support the use of a 
format option that would provide an Inflector transformation of the 
attribute. So as to not alter existing forms, the default behavior should 
continue to use human_attribute_name. 
Does anyone else see potential value in this feature?
