One thing that tcl does not have as far as I can tell is unicode
normalization functions. Am I correct in thinking that there are no
builtin functions, extensions, or library functions for this? If so, I
am thinking that this is something that ought to be added. It is fairly
important for serious Unicode use. Python has it in a base library
(unicodedata) and there is a Perl module for it (Unicode::Normalize).

Your probably right that it is important.

After a short look at the unicode tr for normalization, this looks
mostly like rather boring stuff, which needs tables of decompositions
and things like that...
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/

One easy way to get this functionality would be to wrap the relevant
parts of the ICU
