| 14:31 | <voidhedron> | What is the reasoning behind both the original regex unicode properties proposal (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-unicode-property-escapes) and the recent one adding the unicode string properties (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-v-flag) both passively refusing to add non-binary unicode properties (minus the 3 exceptions already supported)? The syntax for them is already in place, and implementers already use ICU for all of the binary properties, so it doesn't save on dependencies or anything either, so why are all the remaining String and Enumerated properties being left out? I can't find any reasoning or justification for it whatsoever in the discussions of the proposals, except some unclear indirect references to them like explaining why Name specifically isn't supported. |
