It is possible to apply transliteration when iconv did not do it,
but it's impossible to undo transliteration made by iconv. So please
don't force users of iconv to have transliteration.
When I want transliteration, I can easily do it myself (I've done it
in Haskell); but when I need to know whether text can be unambiguously
converted, I want to be able to get an error in other cases.

How to specify transliterated and untransliterated conversions?
