Thanks, I missed that.
You would need to do your own mapping from language code to
transliterator name, since it only has converters for az/tr, el, lt
and "Any", with no fallbacks. For example if you did
Transliterator::create("en-Upper")->transliterate('a') you would get a
fatal error.
Presumably if I submitted a PR adding wrappers for u_strToUpper()
etc., it would not be rejected on the basis that we already have
transliterators.
