[Haskell] [ANN] unicode-transforms-0.2.0 pure Haskell unicode normalization

[Harendra Kumar]

Hi,

I released unicode-transforms sometime back as bindings to a C library
(utf8proc). Since then I have rewritten it completely in Haskell. Haskell
data structures are automatically generated from unicode database, so it
can be kept up-to-date with the standard unlike the C implementation which
was stuck at unicode 5. The implementation comes with a test suite
providing 100% code coverage.

After a number of algorithmic and implementation efficiency optimizations,
I was able to get several times better decompose performance compared to
the C implementation. I have not yet got a chance to fully optimize the
compose operations but they are still as fast as utf8proc.

I would like to thank Antonio Nikishaev for the unicode character database
parsing code which I borrowed from the prose library.
