Description
It would be nice if there was built-in support for String.prototype.normalize as a built in transformer.
This would be usefull to avoid weird issues with strings:
const name1 = '\u0041\u006d\u00e9\u006c\u0069\u0065';
const name2 = '\u0041\u006d\u0065\u0301\u006c\u0069\u0065';
console.log(`${name1}, ${name2}`); // "Amélie, Amélie"
console.log(name1 === name2); // false
console.log(name1.length === name2.length); // false
const name1NFC = name1.normalize('NFC');
const name2NFC = name2.normalize('NFC');
console.log(`${name1NFC}, ${name2NFC}`); // "Amélie, Amélie"
console.log(name1NFC === name2NFC); // true
console.log(name1NFC.length === name2NFC.length); // trueFor options and more detail see the MDN documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/normalize
