Let me expand a bit my reply on bugzilla.
There are other things I'd like to note, besides conforming to unicode regex
standard, that is (going to be) fully supported in upcoming next-gen std.regex.
Things I'd love to see in an upgrade of std.uni:
- normalization (at least NFC)
- unicode version 5.0 ---> 6.0
- grapheme support, via a special range on top of string or at least plain
"stride" function that tells the length of a cluster a-la the one that does
UTF-8 decoding
I had to (re)implement a lot of stuff, with the end result that the unicode
support in regex is self-contained right now.
Of course, I'd be willing to make arrangements to gradually shift some of this
stuff back where it belongs, once I'm finished with regexes.


Sounds great!
