Ruby 1.9 doesn't support Unicode normalization yet

Question

I\'m trying to port over some of my old rails apps to Ruby 1.9 and I keep getting warnings about how \"Ruby 1.9 doesn\'t support Unicode normalization yet.\" I\'ve tracked

If you'd rather not monkey patch the Inflector module, you can also do this...

Both of the following worked for me to silence this annoying "Ruby 1.9 doesn't support Unicode normalization yet" warning:

silence_stream(STDERR) {
  whatever_code_caused_transliterate_to_be_called
}

or

silence_warnings {
  whatever_code_caused_transliterate_to_be_called
}

This does have the disadvantage that it requires cluttering up your calling code, but it is a technique you can use generally whenever you don't want to see warnings or other output.

activesupport provides silence_stream and silence_warnings in activesupport-2.3.11/lib/active_support/core_ext/kernel/reporting.rb
