Looks good so far.

If you intend to do that weekly, it should be a valuable service, like the 
summaries done years ago.


I also learned something new from it, like the existence of a new parrot-users 
discussion list, a good targeted environment for people using Parrot to 
implement languages, without the details of Parrot internals development.

S05 Regex - Unicode properties

2009-11-23 Thread Helmut Wollmersdorfer

IMHO some details of Unicode property support seem unspecified:

1) Assumption: *ALL* Unicode properties and all of their aliases should 
be supported.


E.g. this will also include the derived properties 'Grapheme_Base' and 
'Grapheme_Extent' (missing in Perl 5 - obviously a bug in 'unicore').


2) Syntax of non-boolean properties:

In Perl 5 e.g.

 \p{BidiClass:L} # Left-to-Right
 \p{gc:L}# General category = Letter

should be in Perl 6 (thx Moritz' suggestion on #perl6):
