Does slugify split camelCase strings? Show me the relevant logic.

Question

Yes, slugify splits camelCase strings by default. According to the documentation in [readme.md:L76-L88], the `decamelize` option controls this behavior:

> Convert camelcase to separate words. Internally it does `fooBar` → `foo bar`.
>
> Default: `true`

Here are the examples showing this in action:

```js
slugify('fooBar');
//=> 'foo-bar'

slugify('fooBar', {decamelize: false});
//=> 'foobar'
```

This is also documented in the TypeScript definitions at [index.d.ts:L37-L48]:

```
readonly decamelize?: boolean;

/**
Convert camelcase to separate words. Internally it does `fooBar` → `foo bar`.

@default true
```

So when `decamelize` is `true` (the default), camelCase strings like `fooBar` are converted to `foo-bar` with the separator inserted between the words.
