Thanks Mark!
Let's go with UNICODE_PROPERTY, if there is no objection.
I went through the updates to the javadoc and the approach looks good
and nicely done. A minor comment is that the compile(String,int) method
repeats the list of flags that are allowed so that should be updated to
list the new flag. I don't know if you have a reviewer for the
implementation changes yet; if not then I'll try to go through them
later in the week.
It looks like the outstanding question is the name of the flag. As it
enables the predefined and POSIX character classes to be the Unicode
versions then I think UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASS (or _CLASSES) would be
clearer to the reader. UNICODE_CLASSES is shorter but might cause
someone to think java.lang.Class rather than character classes. I'm not
sure whether the singular or plural name is better but the existing
flags are a mix of singular and plural.
