First letters are supposed to be primary collation elements.
However, we do not want expansions to be considered
as firstletters (aka thorn "þ" -> "th" which isn't
the same as any other first letter (since "t" !== "th" )
however if þ was a first letter, the word "the" and
even worse the word "too" would be sorted under it, which
is wrong.
Looking for feedback if this all sounds sane. I have tested
it, it got rid of the contractions while at the same time
not removing any letter it wasn't supposed to.
Once this is merged, we could get rid of all the
-<langcode> entries. The other firstLetter array
entries for tailorings could be merged into
generateCollationData.php too, since incorrect
things would get pruned automatically, which
would probably make the logic in Collation.php
simpler.
