//!
//! Verified word for word against PostgreSQL 18.4; the oracle is the
//! spec.
//!
//! German's shape is its own. `ß` becomes `ss` before anything else, a
//! `u`/`y` between vowels is marked so it stops counting as one, R1 is
//! floored at 3, and the last step folds the umlauts away — which is
//! why `häuser` reaches `haus` and `schönheit` reaches `schonheit`
//! rather than keeping its `ö`.
