Yes, right-assoc does exist too, and the standard supports the DBCS varieties
in charmaps as an election, even. There's also medials, which have left and
right associativity, and a number of other types, depending on primary script
family. I agree with your last point that such sequence convers

It is not "some sensible \u sequences" alone. First off, there's little
agreement on what constitutes 'sensible'. Just the headache of the U300
diacritics adds to XBD6 significantly, if they're to be supported, as one
example. The 'sensible' present solution is to not support them at all; other

Yes, the additions necessary still for even limited Unicode support above the
broken bandaids C11+ provide are one of those issues. Where Unicode is
incompatible with POSIX, and is therefore (by design) broken too needs
addressing also. The white papers detailing most of these changes have yet

Also, as something new, its inclusion is part of a later draft of Issue 8.
Additional issues it depends on need to be addressed first, specified fully,
and incorporated. This is more why it went on the back burner, that I recall.
Various other bugs are in similar state; the prerequisites to fin
