I've got some feature requests, which I think would require changing how you do it in some cases... but I've got some ideas there.

First off, and I don't have an implementation idea here: Could you make identical sequences longer then one char? For example, in German, ue should sort the same place as ü often, and likewise ae=>ä, oe=>ö (ë, ï, and ÿ aren't in German). (Also, s-set/sharp-s should sort the same as ss, but I'm too lazy to type that properly.) (This isn't quite the traditional sort-order, BTW.)

Also, the possiblity to have alphebets longer the 255 chars would be nice. You could do this by having the RHS of your tr be based on the count of chars in the alphabet rather then a static 0-255.
