After reading this discussion through for the last few minutes I just
wander if there with UNICODE characters is any alternative to spesifying a
sequence of interesting characters and their relations like this
"aboriginal character spesification":
Aa:á:Àà:â:Ãã,Bb,Cc:Çç,Dd,Ee:Ééèêë,Ff,Gg,Hh,I:¡iíìîï,Jj,Kk,Ll,Mm,Nn:Ññ,Oo:óòô:Õõ:
‘¦,Pp,Qq,Rr,Ss,Tt,Uu:úùû,Vv,Ww,Xx,Yy:Üü,Zz,Ææ:Ää,Øø:Öö,Åå.
call it a local collating sequence if you wish...
THEN the Regualar expresision [A..Å] will at least mean all characters in
the above sequence as I see it. All characters that are NOT mentioned in
the aboriginal character spesification will then be deamed outside by the
regular expression...
only my 2 øre worth...
