Remove ???? from a string ?

Perhaps worth fleshing this out a bit, to the point where it's more clearly defined, and not too parochially restricted to the small Anglo-Saxon subset of Roman scripts, let alone scripts in general ?

Removing a defined subset of glyphs from a string seems interesting, but what do we want the meaning of vowel to be here in terms of the accented vowels used by most Roman scripts, or in the terms of South Asian scripts, Levantine scripts, CJK, Cyrillic, and, in the context of the Rosetta Stone which gives its name to this page, and is displayed in one corner of it, Greek, Demotic, and Hieroglyphic ?

The task description should probably be Remove a defined subset of glyphs from a string. Knowing RC we'll probably have a task Remove consonants from a string next week. Then RC would not need to be too worried about the definition of vowel.--Nigel Galloway (talk) 15:14, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
