/**
 * Transliterates Hebrew text according to a given schema
 *
 * @param text - a string or {@link https://charlesloder.github.io/havarotjs/classes/text.Text.html | Text} of Hebrew characters
 * @param schema - a {@link Schema} for transliterating the text
 * @returns a transliterated text
 *
 * @example
 * Default
 * ```ts
 * import { transliterate } from "hebrew-transliteration";
 *
 * transliterate("אֱלֹהִים");
 * // "ʾĕlōhîm";
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 * Using `Partial<Schema>`
 * ```ts
 * import { transliterate } from "hebrew-transliteration";
 *
 * transliterate("שָׁלוֹם", { SHIN: "sh" })
 * // shālôm
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 * Using a custom `Schema`
 * ```ts
 * import { transliterate, Schema } from "hebrew-transliteration";
 *
 * const schema = new Schema({ ALEF: "'", BET: "B", ... QAMETS: "A", ... }) // truncated for brevity
 *
 * transliterate("אָ֣ב", schema)
 * // 'AB
 * ```
 *
 * @remarks
 * If no {@link Schema} is passed, then the package defaults to SBL's academic style. You can pass in a partial schema that will modify SBL's academic style.
 * If you need a fully custom schema, it is best to use the {@link Schema} constructor.
