Could you also add examples which applicable to T65242#3669911 (T29987#324746), if possible?

Since user-notice has been added, could you briefly (a couple of sentences) write how you would describe this for a non-technical editor?

When writing filters ccnorm_contains_any can be used when we need to find multiple strings within another string and we want to use their canonical representation for comparison.
It normalises confusable/similar characters in the arguments, and returns true if the first string contains any string from the following arguments (unlimited number of arguments can be used)
Example:
| Code | Result |
| ccnorm_contains_any( "w1k1p3d14", "wiKiP3D1A", "foo", "bar" ) | true |
| ccnorm_contains_any( "w1k1p3d14", "foo", "bar", "baz" ) | false |
| ccnorm_contains_any( "w1k1p3d14 is 4w3s0me", "bar", "baz", "some" ) | true |
@Johan is that good?
