Comment (by HM):
Another datapoint: In my language both 'å' and 'ø' are valid words in and
of themselves... the standard slugify reduces both of these to ''. Oopsy.
'æææææææ' is a popular way to describe a scream, it also becomes... ''.
I have my own slugify-function that turns the unicode-string into NFKD
then slugifys that, then checks that the string isn't empty and if it is:
adds a dummy string + the datetime + random string. This is independent of
locale, which I consider a bonus.
