Comment (by jcaffaro):
In the context of BibIndex, where this function is used, it might be
interesting not only to keep entity references (© €) but also to
convert them to strings (©, €). The same would apply to numeric character
references (Σ to Σ or ∫ to ∫).
A parameter to switch on/off the conversion might be useful to add (though
this kind of use case might be more appropriately handled in dedicated,
more specialized piece of code. See for eg. how this is achieved using
module {{{htmlentitydefs}}} in {{{handle_charref(..)}}} and
{{{handle_entityref(..)}}} functions of
source:modules/webcomment/lib/webcomment_washer.py@9a70ab3fc77b5#L43 or
source:modules/webalert/lib/htmlparser.py@bd6f70ff7c2dee#L136)
