Seems like rather than specifying a set of "candidate characters", we
want to specify a candidate boundary regular expression. Something
like, \p{P}|\b\p{Lu}|\b\p{N}, should cover all of the above cases:
sentence boundaries may appear at punctuation marks, at uppercase
letters after word boundaries, and at numbers after a word boundaries.
