/**
* When searching a table with accented characters, it can be frustrating to have
* an input such as _Zurich_ not match _Zürich_ in the table (`u!==ü`). This
* type based search plug-in replaces the built-in string formatter in
* DataTables with a function that will replace the accented characters
* with their unaccented counterparts for fast and easy filtering.
*
* Note that this plug-in uses the Javascript I18n API that was introduced in
* ES6. For older browser's this plug-in will have no effect.
*
*  @summary Replace accented characters with unaccented counterparts
*  @name Accent neutralise
*  @author Allan Jardine
*
*  @example
*    $(document).ready(function(){
*        $('#example').dataTable();
*    });
