- removeSpecialChars — After Normalize chars, a string still contains its original punctuation, spaces, and symbols. Remove special chars removes all of those, keeping only letters, digits, and underscores.
- alphaReduce — Normalize chars is a substitution-only plugin: it converts diacritics but does not remove anything. Strip non-alphabetic characters is a removal-only plugin: it strips digits and punctuation while keeping letters and spaces, but leaves diacritical letters in their original form.
