KY> I have no idea to add it to the Gnus wash functions.

OK, but I was thinking that since W C-h shows about 100 different wash
functions, there certainly should be some that do some of these functions:

Usage: uni2ascii [flags]
       -c Convert circled and parenthesized characters.
       -e Convert to approximate ASCII equivalents.
       -f Convert formal equivalents to ASCII.
       -x Expand certain single characters to equivalent sequences.
       -y Convert certain characters to approximate single-characters.
       -d Strip diacritics.
       -n Convert newlines.
       -s Convert space characters.
       -B Best ASCII. Transform to ASCII if possible. Combines cdefx.

But it seems it would be best for the user to just use
(shell-command-on-region (region-beginning) (region-end) "uni2ascii
-e" ...

OK, I thought a Wash to ASCII group would be a common need (for me I
only encountered that one message with the need though)... OK, never
mind. Thanks anyway for your trouble.
