You don't need such guarantee for now. If it ever occurs later, you may code
exceptions to the rule. But I doubt it will happen. You can be very
confident that if a character has a decimal property, it will have the same
integer property and the same numeric property. Then if a character has no
decimal property but a integer property, it will also have the same numeric
property.
