Totally understand the feeling. Keep in mind that I'm in the same 
position today.

When I tried to restore tables before I opted to remove them, not 
sure if it was the right move.

Cannot easily decipher what's blowing up there. Seems to be this:

  Error: `assert(cmp(s2, "I i\xcc\x87") == 0)` failed

I'm missing the context but it looks like this uses title case 
tables which are not the same as simple case folding, but since 
you didn't fiddle with title case that would be strange to break.

So the issue with simple case folding vs full case folding. 
Simple case folding is used mostly in sicmp (simple insensitive 
cmp) so should be well confined.


In any case I'm happy to help with restoring the generator, could 
you point me to your repo so I can help you figure out what might 
be missing?
