[OS X TeX] separators in label names

[Murray Eisenberg]

I need crossreftools in order to pull apart cross-references to theorem-like constructs (with thmtools) that produce environments with outputs beginning

	Theorem (an important result of Newton}

or

	Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

so as to create macros that give the parenthesized name in the first type, preserving the upper-case letters of marked names (via \NoCaseChange from textcase), and the name in the second type but with initial letters lower-cased (again, with the exception of marked names; and so that the entries from all such environments in the \listoftheorems will keep that lower-casing except for the very first letter.

So, for example, in the first example, if it has label, say \label{thm:important}, then my macro \thmnameref* has output 

	an important result of Newton

from \thmnameref*{thm:important}; and if the second example has label \label{thm:FTC}, then my macro \thmref* gives output

	fundamental theorem of calculus 

from \thmref*{thm:FTC}. And in the list of theorems created by \listoftheorems, those two theorem-like environments will produce entries:

	An important result of Newton
	Fundamental theorem of calculus

This is all, among other reasons, due to customary Amer Math Soc and Math Assoc America math book (and journal) styles that prefer, or insist upon, lower-casing such theorem names, at least when referred to in the body of the text.
