Wouldn't it be easier to reference the Unicode properties
1) ID_Start plus U+005F LOW LINE (=Underscore)
2) ID_Continue
for identifiers? That's what Unicode 'ID_x' is for.
With the nice 'side effect' that combining diacritics are in ID_Continue.

AFAIR in two Specs 'CharLingua' appears as - maybe - a leftover from the
history of Perl 6.
Whatever the idea of 'CharLingua' was, something nice-to-have would be
support of locale-dependent processing in the sense of Unicode

IMHO we need some people for a broad discussion on the details first.

Good question. My assumption is that adding marks to a character

2) Syntax of non-boolean properties:
In Perl 5 e.g.
\p{BidiClass:L} # Left-to-Right
\p{gc:L}# General category = Letter
should be in Perl 6 (thx Moritz' suggestion on #perl6):
isBidiClass(:L)

Sure. The specs of Perl 6 still need huge work on the Unicode part.

. And an implementation should always declare, which
features of Unicode are implemented (and which not) in which version of
Unicode.

We can dream of :ignoreorthography or :ignoretypography, but they should
not be implemented into a regex-engine.
