Also upperFirst, truncate would be useful

Cool so we’ll combine these two into deburr

This is lodash deburr implementation. As it seems my utils solve only part of the problem. There are other problems to solve. But we should refrain from copying the from lodash to avoid licensing issues and do our own research. deburr is priority now because it’s the base for lot of other string utility functions.
