In std.uni (D Lib 2.068.2) I can no longer see how to get the general
category code for a character. Does anyone know what the currently
supported way to do that is?
I thought I remembered that I used to be able to directly get the
general character category, but as a crutch this is what I'm using (and
checking back to 2012 I apparently couldn't do better then):
char charCat (dchar ch)
{ if (isAlpha (ch) ) return 'L';
if (isNumber (ch) ) return 'N';
if (isWhite (ch) ) return 'Z';
if (isControl (ch) ) return 'C';
if (isPunctuation (ch) ) return 'P';
else return '?'; // Includes
not a character
}
This suffices for my current needs, but it clearly a lot less
information than the two letter code would be, and sometimes that's what
I need.
