Recap:
During a couple of rounds of the informal review new std.uni had its
docs happily destroyed, and later re-written based on the feedback.
Notable changes:
- Fixed a couple of latent bugs (ouch!)
- unicode.xyz helper was redesigned to have a clear path for extension
to properties other then binary ones. For instance to get all of code
points with hangul syllable type L (leading Jamo):
auto leadingJamo = unicode.hangulSyllableType("L");
- Squeezed extra 31Kb slack from object-file size (32 bits, more on 64).
Now all of the packed tables occupy around 350Kb (32bits) and
If you happen to know some tricks to reduce object file size (and in
turn the executable size), please chime in.

Docs: http://blackwhale.github.com/phobos/uni.html
(looks far better without the JS jump-table)
It's a standalone module at the moment. To use in place of current
std.uni replace 'std.uni'->'uni' in your programs and compare the
results. Make sure that both uni and unicode_tables modules are linked
in, rdmd can take care of this dependency.
P.S. Time to go for the formal review?
P.P.S. Got to catch some sleep ...
