More to the point, there are no such characters in 7-bit ASCII.
I think Alvaro might be suggesting that to_ascii() should expand these
to the two-character sequences "OE" and "oe", but ISTM that opens a can
of worms better left sealed. There are a *lot* of characters that have
translations of differing levels of plausibility into ASCII. I'm okay
with dropping accent marks but I'm not sure about doing more than that.
