Today I needed a function to create a slug (an ASCII-only representation of
a string). I went Googling a bit, and found an
excellend [Flask snippet](http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/5/). Problem is,
it is designed for Python 2, so I came up with a Python 3 version.

As I dont really like the transliteration done in the first example
(e.g. converting ü to ue), I went with the second example.
