/**
 * Normalizes German characters according to the heuristics
 * of the <a href="http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/german2/stemmer.html">
 * German2 snowball algorithm</a>.
 * It allows for the fact that ä, ö and ü are sometimes written as ae, oe and ue.
 * <ul>
 *   <li> 'ß' is replaced by 'ss'
 *   <li> 'ä', 'ö', 'ü' are replaced by 'a', 'o', 'u', respectively.
 *   <li> 'ae' and 'oe' are replaced by 'a', and 'o', respectively.
 *   <li> 'ue' is replaced by 'u', when not following a vowel or q.
 * </ul>
 * This is useful if you want this normalization without using
 * the German2 stemmer, or perhaps no stemming at all.
