/**
 * \file
 * \brief C API: Unicode Properties
 *
 * This C API provides low-level access to the Unicode Character Database.
 * In addition to raw property values, some convenience functions calculate
 * derived properties, for example for Java-style programming.
 *
 * Unicode assigns each code point (not just assigned character) values for
 * many properties.
 * Most of them are simple boolean flags, or constants from a small enumerated list.
 * For some properties, values are strings or other relatively more complex types.
 *
 * For more information see
 * "About the Unicode Character Database" (http://www.unicode.org/ucd/)
 * and the ICU User Guide chapter on Properties (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/properties.html).
 *
 * Many functions are designed to match java.lang.Character functions.
 * See the individual function documentation,
 * and see the JDK 1.4.1 java.lang.Character documentation
 * at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html
 *
 * There are also functions that provide easy migration from C/POSIX functions
 * like isblank(). Their use is generally discouraged because the C/POSIX
 * standards do not define their semantics beyond the ASCII range, which means
 * that different implementations exhibit very different behavior.
 * Instead, Unicode properties should be used directly.
 *
 * There are also only a few, broad C/POSIX character classes, and they tend
 * to be used for conflicting purposes. For example, the "isalpha()" class
 * is sometimes used to determine word boundaries, while a more sophisticated
 * approach would at least distinguish initial letters from continuation
 * characters (the latter including combining marks).
 * (In ICU, BreakIterator is the most sophisticated API for word boundaries.)
 * Another example: There is no "istitle()" class for titlecase characters.
 *
 * A summary of the behavior of some C/POSIX character classification implementations
 * for Unicode is available at http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icuhtml/design/posix_classes.html
 *
 * <strong>Important</strong>:
 * The behavior of the ICU C/POSIX-style character classification
 * functions is subject to change according to discussion of the above summary.
 *
 * Note: There are several ICU whitespace functions.
 * Comparison:
 * - u_isUWhiteSpace=UCHAR_WHITE_SPACE: Unicode White_Space property;
 *       most of general categories "Z" (separators) + most whitespace ISO controls
 *       (including no-break spaces, but excluding IS1..IS4 and ZWSP)
 * - u_isWhitespace: Java isWhitespace; Z + whitespace ISO controls but excluding no-break spaces
 * - u_isJavaSpaceChar: Java isSpaceChar; just Z (including no-break spaces)
 * - u_isspace: Z + whitespace ISO controls (including no-break spaces)
 * - u_isblank: "horizontal spaces" = TAB + Zs - ZWSP
