This class is a Function which transforms a String of traditional
text into a string of simplified text. It does this by looking for
and extracting all single characters from a CEDict file.
There are a few hardcoded translations to cover for ambiguities in
the simplified translations of traditional characters.
- 鹼: mapped to 碱, although 硷 is listed as a possibility in CEDict.
- 於: mapped to 于, although 於 is listed as a possibility in CEDict.
- 祇: mapped to 只, although 祇 is listed as a possibility in CEDict.
- 彷: sometimes also 彷, but 仿 is more common.
- 甚: sometimes also 甚, but 什 is more common.
- 麽: can appear as 幺麽, but very rare. Hardcoded for now
unless that causes problems.
