Well, the Unicode conversion algorithm (the standard) is not too simple.
At least cases with numbers, signs and english-hebrew mix are quite messy.
Some cases are completely unclear, because '-' means both 'minus' and
'dash' (both of them) - which have different behaviour according to
unicode.
I tried to implement it the best way, and in the same time to mimic how
Microsoft products do it. The latter is not 100%, since Microsoft
products' behaviour is inconsistent and sometimes even erratic in some
special cases.
