[XeTeX 3.14159265-2.6-0.99992 (TeX Live 2015)] Folks, I'm updating the `ucharclasses.sty' to completely cover Unicode. This style file maps Unicode character blocks to character classes, and I've hit the 256 entry limit of \XeTeXcharclass... Any chance to extend it to 16 bits?
Probably, at least in principle; I don't remember the code offhand to know how easy/difficult this might be.
But my first reaction to the question is to ask whether Unicode character blocks are the most useful thing to map. They're rather arbitrary, with things like Latin script split up across numerous blocks largely due to historical accident.
Mapping the Script property to char classes would seem much more useful, IMO.
