SRFI-75 in no way prevents that.  It simply says what string<? and its friends
mean.  You can still provide string-uca-simple<? and string-uca-locale<? if
you want.

Same answer: you can provide string-nfd, string-nfc, string-nfkc, and
string-nfkd if you want, and also the obvious composition of these
functions with string<? and friends.
