It seems the code have some //IGNORE handling hooks, but I don't test is
it really work or just fake as "transliteration", see iconv.c:
handle->cv_shared->ci_discard_ilseq = strcasestr(out, "//IGNORE");
handle->cv_shared->ci_hooks = NULL;
return ((iconv_t)(void *)handle);

Transliteration by converting everything to '?' (that's all I got in my
testings with several charsets, including 8859-15) means transliteration
is simple not working, it isn't 'not as good as'. Despite of false
claims in the system iconv code, see just a definition of
transliteration term.
