I had a quick look at doing this with java.text.Normalizer as suggested in the link below, but the equivalent code in Flix (calling the same Java functions) didn't work whereas an all Java prototype did.

I'll have to dig deeper into the actual string data in Flix to see if the input was equal.

Before you write any code, give a quick description of how you intend to implement it. For inspiration try to take a look at other librarys (e.g. lodash, underscore from JavaScript) or what else you can find :)

The idea is to discuss an existing implementation before we try to implement it in Flix.

Also too esoteric.

I'd forgotten about it, but I wrote the code here:
