    Grepping for the comments (* as first character after the initial tab)
    indicates, among others, the traps and the pitfalls.

    Also, the major ones (like gha, U+01A2/U+01A3) are tagged directly into the
    "ISO" comment, between parenthesis, on the same line as the CHARACTER NAME.

    (Désolé Patrick, je ne sais pas si tu as un dispositif de suivi de versions
    ; or either if UTC will include it in the UCD).

    Hope it helps,
