Great to read that.

I think I will leave that for the end. I am now learning the
normalization algorithms to implement string equality comparisons
using cl-unicode as-is. Once it passes the test suites, I hope to move
to string collation and then look on things related to dependencies,
databases, etc. As I said, my goal is to integrate this in cl-unicode,
so if and when I get moving I will send patches either to you or to
the mailing list.
