Also fine, but this would lack of the ability to switch from one form to
another. The normalize() function could have a second parameter that
takes a form name.
To implement C<normalize> with two parameters,
it need to be determined how to catch exception
when an invalid form name is passed in.
1) croak
2) carp and return false
3) only return false
4) use default (what is default?)
5) another...
I think it should be croaked like "Invalid type in pack"
If C<normalize> takes two parameters,
it may be better the 1st is a form name
and the 2nd is a string to be normalized.
cf. printf FOMAT, LIST
pack TEMPLATE,LIST
split REGEX, STRING
What's wrong with Unicode::Normalize?
As yet I don't not know
whether the Unicode:: category is available at present
and neither what another name is appropriate. :-(
