$750 Bounty: Issue 16416 - Phobos std.uni out of date (should be updated to latest Unicode standard)

[Robert M. Münch]

Following my "Is it time for a Unicode update of std.uni?" post in D 
group, I would like to try out to sponsor this effort for "Issue 16416 
- Phobos std.uni out of date (should be updated to latest Unicode 
standard)" [1]

For me, this, too, is an experiment to find out if it's possible to 
move specific issues/topics forward. And maybe even find people that 
are open to contact work too. For me, all these things are pretty 
related.

So, not knowing how much work it is, nor knowing what a good amount 
would be, I took the other route and asked me, what is it worth for me 
to get it done? Note: Getting #16416 done is not critical for me; most 
likely, I could even live with the current state of std.uni. On the 
other hand, std.uni is a very fundamental building block, and having it 
up to date and maybe even extended should be much value to D.

So, I'm offering $750 to get it done.

Besides getting the work done, there is one constraint: The work needs 
to get into Phobos. It doesn't make sense to have it sit around, 
because it's not being merged. I don't have any clue who is in charge, 
who decides this. Or if there need to be some conditions full-filled so 
that the result gets merged.
