Any surname starting with Mac should be handled as if the "a" weren't there. This is meant to remove issues with spelling of Mac vs Mc, but applies to any surname that happens to begin with those three letters. Examples:

• McDonald: MCDON
• MacDonald: MCDON
• Macintosh: MCINT
• less intuitively, Macedo (portuguese surname, unrelated with the "Mac/Mc" prefix): MCEDO

The two characters in the driving licence number for first name are supposed to contain the initials of the first two given names (with a 9 in the absence of enough if those)

The way the month turns into the respective digits in the license number depends on the bearer's gender: if that is Female, then the month number is incremented by 50.

This is currently not taken into account, resulting in female names like Angela having "male" DL numbers.

Two categories:

• accented characters
• space/punctuations.

Examples of realistic, problematic inputs:

1. Surnames

Mão de Ferro
Expected: MAODE
Observed: MÃO D

O'Leary
Expected: OLEAR
Observed: O'LEA

2. Given names

Ágata
Expected: A
Observed: Á

(There's another issue with given names, but I'll create a separate issue for that.)
