OK, if you want to do the accent maps, great, I won't touch it. One thing
I wanted to do with the accent-mapping is to allow some limited
transforming as well. For example, let's say I have the name Schrodinger
(w/o) accents. I might want to define:

oe -> o
ö -> o

(Sorry, I don't know how to type accents on this keyboard)

For the case of single characters, you can just use 
String::replace(c1, c2). Currently, we don't have a method to replace
multiple characters by one.

However, this feature of accent-mapping need not be done now.
