Currently, "ö" or "é" in a String causes Soundex to throw an 
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

We can either:

(1) Throw a better Exception, like IllegalArgumentException: Only 'plain' letter are 
allowed.

Or:

(2) Ignore unmapped characters. This would work for "ö" and "é" since vowels are 
ignored but this could cause bad encoding values for other chars like "ç".

AFAIK, you cannot ask if a character is a vowel or not.

Thoughts?
