    UAX #15 begs to differ. See Annex 8, "Detecting Normalization Forms":

    http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/#Annex8

    In particular, the list of characters and derived properties, while
    large, is *much* smaller than the complete UCD.

    I have not tested this, and don't currently plan to.
