just a few tables. and a bit of time spent applying them. ;-)
if you have plan 9 installed and can
nflag=-n srv $nflag -q tcp!atom.9atom.org atom &&
mount $nflag /srv/atom /n/atom atom
then the tables, &c. are in /n/atom/plan9/sys/src/libc/port.
the awk code to generate them, and the supporting functions
are in /n/atom/plan9/sys/src/cmd/runetype.
a particularlly nifty (if straightforward) application is grep -I, which is like
grep -i, but translates its input with tolowerrune(tobaserune(r))
rather than tolower(c). also straightforward is rune/case, which is
like tr 'A-Z' 'a-z', except generalized for unicode.
