to regenerate `slnudata.c` as soon as a new Unicode version gets
published?

Having a closer look it seems that this file only handles the BMP
(i.e., the range U+0000 to U+FFFF), which is, well, not optimal.
Wouldn't it make thus sense to switch to an actively maintained UTF-8
library like 'luautf8'?

basicallty the slunicode is obsolete (but kept) ... one can just write lua helpers instead (the are are some traversers etc in the string namespace)
