but the problem cannot be tested with single codepoints I think? I'm
pretty sure the issue
has to do with contextual normalization/casefolding (both of these are
not 1-1)... especiallly
involving things like greek diacritics.

a simple test would just generate lots of random unicode strings,
normalize with this option,
and then normalize that result again and compare that they are the same.
