Anyone who really, badly wants to parse the grocery lists of Ewell using
software can check the character properties for Ewellic, in standard
Unicode format, at:
http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/ew-props.html
While these characters ain't never gonna be in Unicode, I would think
all proposals for encoding should have this level of detail regarding
the properties of the proposed characters.
Note especially the "number" fields for the hex digits: they are
numeric, they are even digits, but they're not *decimal* digits.
