LGTM. Out of curiosity, what is the motivation to replace the NSString functions?

NSString functions are in the part of Foundation that depend on FoundationInternationalization, increasing the size of a statically linked (everything, including libc) Linux binary by ~50MB (mostly ICU data).

The pitch to add these functions to the stdlib has been inactive for a while and still needs work based on the GH comments: https://forums.swift.org/t/pitch-unicode-normalization/73240
