I really meant "nearly infinite", because even if the potential default grapheme clusters are "infinite", the actual ones that have meaningful semantics and effective usage are "finite" (within the finite set of code points currently assigned in a precise Unicode version), but currently not precisely enumerable (that's where "nearly infinite" makes sense). __________________________________________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed Spam messages and set aside Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com
