I don't understand why that's particularly useful, especially in the
Han case (see below).
Since python 3.3 has the NameAliases.txt builtin in the distribution in order
to full fil \N{} construct, I think it would be nice to have an api to access
this files, to do like unicodedata.alias('\n').abbreviations[:3] == ['LF',
'NL', 'EOL']
I don't understand what you're asking for. The Unicode Standard
already provides canonical names.
Not for control characters.
About the Han case, they all have a unicodedata.name<http://unicodedata.name>
don't they ? (Sorry if I misread your message)
