HANDLING BELARUSIAN VOWEL ALTERNATIONS:

We proceed as follows:

1. Call mark_stressed_vowels_in_unstressed_syllables() to attach a stress mark
   (acute accent) to monosyllabic vowels and to stressed ё vowels, and attach
   a special signal (DOTBELOW) to vowels that are in positions they should not be
   (о э ё in unstressed syllables, е directly before the stress), so that they
   are never converted to their destressed equivalent.
2. Attempt to reconstruct, as much as possible, the underlying vowels of the word.
   This is normally done using apply_vowel_alternation().
3. Move the stress mark elsewhere in the word (e.g. by removing the stress mark and
   appending a stressed suffix).
4. Call destress_vowels_after_stress_movement() to convert the word to its final
   form. This turns о э ё in unstressed syllables and е directly before the stress
   into other vowels, taking care not to do this if DOTBELOW follows the vowel.
   After that, it undoes the changes made in mark_stressed_vowels_in_unstressed_syllables().
