C# String extension method to fold diacritics to ASCII characters
// IMPORTANT
using System.Text;
// This gist was created thanks to this comment from Alexander on StackOverflow:
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/249087/how-do-i-remove-diacritics-accents-from-a-string-in-net#comment86833005_34272324
// This is a derivative work. The logic of this function comes from a switch statement found inside the
// Lucene.Net library. The documentation of the conversion of characters is quite impressive
// (thank you @NightOwl888 and @synhershko !!!):
