e2fd46741f65c5fcf3d8e106e9a45d62cd51d87a precis: the nickname profile is not idempotent
Because of the order in which rules are applied for PRECIS profiles,
profiles that use NFKC may not be idempotent. This can lead to
unexpected results when performing comparisons. For example:
'DIAERESIS' (U+00A8) decomposes to 'SPACE' (U+0020) + 'COMBINING
DIAERESIS' (U+0308), but on subsequent applications of the Nickname
profile the Additional Mapping Rule will remove the space.
In future it may be desirable to have a way to tell if a transformer is
idempotent, but for now I have merely noted in the documentation that
some comparisons which one might expect to be true may fail and added a
test.
