… scripts Fixes trinker#64 Previously, replace_non_ascii() used stri_trans_general(x, 'latin-ascii'), which only transliterated Latin-script characters. Non-Latin scripts (Cyrillic, CJK, Devanagari, etc.) were either left as byte sequences or stripped entirely by remove.nonconverted. Now uses 'Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII' to first transliterate any script to Latin, then Latin to ASCII. This is backwards compatible since Any-Latin is a no-op for already-Latin input.
