This is great to have! :) As a developer writing considerable amounts of 
  code that does this kind of stuff, it is nice to know that we can use 
this as an alternative to our own PHP based implementation.

P.S.
Any hope on getting case folding in there? ICU supports it :) It is 
useful from a security standpoint (making sure that usernames cannot be 
confused with others, etc.) If you do not have the time, I suppose I 
could make a patch for it...
