[Haskell-cafe] Lightweight Unicode normalization library

[Harendra Kumar]

Ah, I created a package for unicode normalization already since I got no
responses to my mail:

https://github.com/harendra-kumar/unicode-transforms

I will take a look at prose as well since it is native Haskell. It does not
seem to be on Hackage yet.
