I suggest including a simple str variable in unicodedata module to

<https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Objects/unicodetype_db.h#L6314>)
so that:
# existent
string.whitespace = ' \t\n\r\x0b\x0c'
# proposed
unicodedata.whitespace = '
\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f\x85\xa0\u1680\u2000\u2001\u2002\u2003\u2004\u2005\u2006\u2007\u2008\u2009\u200a\u2028\u2029\u202f\u205f\u3000'
What's the use case? I can't think of a single occasion when I would
have found this useful.
Same here.
For those few cases, where it might be useful, you can easily put the
string into your application code.
Putting this into the stdlib would just mean that we'd have to recheck
whether new Unicode whitespace chars were added, every time the standard
upgrades. With ASCII, this won't happen in the foreseeable future ;-)
