[dev-context] How up to date char-def.lua is?

[Khaled Hosny]

Since Unicode keeps adding new characters and scripts with each release
(and some times altering the properties of existing characters), I was
wondering how up to date char-def.lua is, in particular on which version
of Unicode data was it based and how frequently it is synced with
Unicode (if at all). It would be even nice to have an mtx script to
update the database when needed.

Regards,
 Khaled

I have a bunch of scripts here but as char-def has extra info (and will 
have more depending on mkiv needs) much is done manually.


also, syncing with other databases always has to be checked esp when it 
has can have consequences for text/math rendering and presets.
