I would just like to add that this included the whole patch
for review that was sent the other day. And the open solicitation
I had made in October of 2022 for someone else to take interest.
You will find it as '[PATCH] introduce code points above BMP to /lib/unicode'
in your records. Along with the patch I wrote some open ended brain dumps about
what to do in that thread. A lot of those thoughts are still seen in the implementation
