this gives a chance to workaround this bug (yes, I think it is).
And I think it is not. Normalization should not magically be done.
If the Unicode string has been normalized to form D and some
originally composed characters have been decomposed, it is no more
the same string as the original.
well, see: from_to claims to convert from encoding1 to encoding2.
encoding1 in this case is utf-8. Also the non-composed UTF-8 is
perfectly valid UTF-8 and there's absolutely no reason, why
from_to($string,"utf8","latin1") should not work just because I used
the NFD form and not the NFC form. Your example is just a way to work
You are assuming the equivalence of (pre)composed characters and
their composed forms. Perl doesn't do this at any level.
around this bug but from_to should not care if the initial string is
NFC or NFD.
