That's not a great name either :(

Wikipedia says: "If longer than 6 characters, truncate to first 6
characters. (only needed for true NYSIIS, some versions use the full key)"

What it does is "truncate to 6" but that is a pretty functional
description. I think a name that reflects "strict vs. not" or "normal vs.
long key" would be better.

Should the default be to truncate to 6?

Some choices:

- strict is best IMO
- fullKey
- shortKey
