Ignoring accented characters

[jbv at souslelogo.com]

Hi list,

Is there a way to ignore accented characters in LC, like in mySQL
for instance ?
Here's an example : I need these 2 array items below to be considered
as 1 single entity :
   add 1 to myArray["interprétation"]
   add 1 to myArray["interpretation"]

Of course, I can write a function that removes accents, but I was
wondering if there was a built-in function in LC to do that, in a
similar logic as "set the casesentive to false" for instance.

Thanks you in advance.
