Thanks for the reviews. That's really helpful to know. As mentioned,
I haven't tried them myself.

That looks really useful. I noticed the break testing in libgrapheme.
Is it possible to use this as a replacement for libunistring? I've
been doing some work on Tuxmath. I updated the code from what they'd
copied from an old version of gettext to using the libunistring
package which was supposed to replace it. Would be nice to offer an
alternative to libunistring as another compilation option. They
mostly use the code to figure out where to put line breaks when
dealing with internationalized text.

Thanks again.
