I am implementing a module which [currently] has only the following
function:
permute_string($s)
Given an arbitrary string, "permute_string()" returns
a reference to an unsorted array of all unique strings
that are canonically equivalent to the argument.
As an example, if given a string such as "\x{1eb7}\x{0303}", the
function returns an array containing all the following strings:
"a\x{0306}\x{0303}\x{0323}"
"a\x{0306}\x{0323}\x{0303}"
"a\x{0323}\x{0306}\x{0303}"
"\x{0103}\x{0303}\x{0323}"
"\x{0103}\x{0323}\x{0303}"
"\x{1ea1}\x{0306}\x{0303}"
"\x{1eb5}\x{0323}"
"\x{1eb7}\x{0303}"
This can be used, for example, to generate test data for a text
processing function, or to help construct or test OpenType rules for a font.
I am looking for recommendations on where this function belongs:
1) Does it belong in some existing module?
2) Does it belong in its own module, and if so what?
My preference is something like Unicode::Equivalents but according to
https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=pause_namingmodules
"Unicode" may be off-limit.
Suggestions?
Bob
