here's a interesting parallel programing problem.

the task is to change this function so it's parallelable.

(defun asciify-string (inputStr)
  "Make Unicode string into equivalent ASCII ones.
Todo: this command is not exhaustive."
  (setq inputStr (replace-regexp-in-string "á\\|à\\|â\\|ä" "a"
inputStr))
  (setq inputStr (replace-regexp-in-string "é\\|è\\|ê\\|ë" "e"
inputStr))
  (setq inputStr (replace-regexp-in-string "í\\|ì\\|î\\|ï" "i"
inputStr))
  (setq inputStr (replace-regexp-in-string "ó\\|ò\\|ô\\|ö" "o"
inputStr))
  (setq inputStr (replace-regexp-in-string "ú\\|ù\\|û\\|ü" "u"
inputStr))
  inputStr
  )
