I had this need!

Did you opt to blacklist words with vowel combinations that should not be transformed, or whitelist those that should? Or something else entirely?

It's currently whitelist-based [0]. The downside is larger (code) size. The upside is simplicity. I imagine a blacklist could also work well, at smaller size but with more preprocessing needed.
