Currently, I'm using CFStringTransform to convert Java-based strings

Works brilliantly.
Luckily, these files are short and this function is super fast.
This enables me to naively take all the text of a file provided or
copied and pasted and convert it whole in one pass.
My question is, will this function handle AttributedStrings?
Presumably not.
Is there a lazy way to handle this ?
(since this function is super good about recognizing and
transforming only string ranges that it targets)
or is it going to require me coming up with an equivalently clever
way of determining the ranges of attribute runs to make this
practical??
I can certainly do it, but I am sure if there is a CF or NS way of
it, that it is already more clever than anything I would come up with.
Oh, one more question...
I didn't see it in the function documentation, but
is there a way for CFStringTransform to tell me the ranges of the the
transformations it has done in the returned string?!
That would certainly be nifty!
