pip install python-slugify[unidecode] also installs text-unidecode #140

Hey,
pip install python-slugify[unidecode] also installs text-unidecode.
Do I misunderstand the notice on the README?
I have interpreted the note in such a way that it installs unidecode as alternative and not parallel.

Thx for clarification

    text-unidecode is default, unidecode is extra.

    if unidecode is found, text-unidecode will be ignored, but not uninstalled.

    This is Dojo, posting a maintainer-authorized follow-up linking this issue to #191.

    Documentation clarifies additive extras, installed dependencies and runtime backend selection. Selecting a backend does not subtract the base dependency.

    The default algorithm remains legacy; improved output rules are opt-in. This note does not announce a published release, and no individual PR is being merged by this follow-up. Thank you for the contribution and discussion.
