# mktables -- create the runtime Perl Unicode files (lib/unicore/.../*.pl),
# from the Unicode database files (lib/unicore/.../*.txt),  It also generates
# a pod file and .t files, depending on option parameters.
#
# The structure of this file is:
#   First these introductory comments; then
#   code needed for everywhere, such as debugging stuff; then
#   code to handle input parameters; then
#   data structures likely to be of external interest (some of which depend on
#       the input parameters, so follows them; then
#   more data structures and subroutine and package (class) definitions; then
#   the small actual loop to process the input files and finish up; then
#   a __DATA__ section, for the .t tests
#
# This program works on all releases of Unicode so far.  The outputs have been
# scrutinized most intently for release 5.1.  The others have been checked for
# somewhat more than just sanity.  It can handle all non-provisional Unicode
# character properties in those releases.
#
# This program is mostly about Unicode character (or code point) properties.
# A property describes some attribute or quality of a code point, like if it
# is lowercase or not, its name, what version of Unicode it was first defined
# in, or what its uppercase equivalent is.  Unicode deals with these disparate
# possibilities by making all properties into mappings from each code point
# into some corresponding value.  In the case of it being lowercase or not,
# the mapping is either to 'Y' or 'N' (or various synonyms thereof).  Each
# property maps each Unicode code point to a single value, called a "property
# value".  (Some more recently defined properties, map a code point to a set
# of values.)
#
# When using a property in a regular expression, what is desired isn't the
# mapping of the code point to its property's value, but the reverse (or the
# mathematical "inverse relation"): starting with the property value, "Does a
# code point map to it?"  These are written in a "compound" form:
# \p{property=value}, e.g., \p{category=punctuation}.  This program generates
# files containing the lists of code points that map to each such regular
# expression property value, one file per list
#
# There is also a single form shortcut that Perl adds for many of the commonly
# used properties.  This happens for all binary properties, plus script,
# general_category, and block properties.
#
# Thus the outputs of this program are files.  There are map files, mostly in
# the 'To' directory; and there are list files for use in regular expression
# matching, all in subdirectories of the 'lib' directory, with each
# subdirectory being named for the property that the lists in it are for.
# Bookkeeping, test, and documentation files are also generated.

my $matches_directory = 'lib';   # Where match (\p{}) files go.
my $map_directory = 'To';        # Where map files go.

# DATA STRUCTURES
#
# The major data structures of this program are Property, of course, but also
# Table.  There are two kinds of tables, very similar to each other.
# "Match_Table" is the data structure giving the list of code points that have
# a particular property value, mentioned above.  There is also a "Map_Table"
# data structure which gives the property's mapping from code point to value.
# There are two structures because the match tables need to be combined in
# various ways, such as constructing unions, intersections, complements, etc.,
# and the map ones don't.  And there would be problems, perhaps subtle, if
# a map table were inadvertently operated on in some of those ways.
# The use of separate classes with operations defined on one but not the other
# prevents accidentally confusing the two.
#
# At the heart of each table's data structure is a "Range_List", which is just
# an ordered list of "Ranges", plus ancillary information, and methods to
# operate on them.  A Range is a compact way to store property information.
# Each range has a starting code point, an ending code point, and a value that
# is meant to apply to all the code points between the two end points,
# inclusive.  For a map table, this value is the property value for those
# code points.  Two such ranges could be written like this:
#   0x41 .. 0x5A, 'Upper',
#   0x61 .. 0x7A, 'Lower'
#
# Each range also has a type used as a convenience to classify the values.
# Most ranges in this program will be Type 0, or normal, but there are some
# ranges that have a non-zero type.  These are used only in map tables, and
# are for mappings that don't fit into the normal scheme of things.  Mappings
# that require a hash entry to communicate with utf8.c are one example;
# another example is mappings for charnames.pm to use which indicate a name
# that is algorithmically determinable from its code point (and the reverse).
# These are used to significantly compact these tables, instead of listing
# each one of the tens of thousands individually.
#
# In a match table, the value of a range is irrelevant (and hence the type as
# well, which will always be 0), and arbitrarily set to the null string.
# Using the example above, there would be two match tables for those two
# entries, one named Upper would contain the 0x41..0x5A range, and the other
# named Lower would contain 0x61..0x7A.
#
# Actually, there are two types of range lists, "Range_Map" is the one
# associated with map tables, and "Range_List" with match tables.
# Again, this is so that methods can be defined on one and not the others so
# as to prevent operating on them in incorrect ways.
#
# Eventually, most tables are written out to files to be read by utf8_heavy.pl
# in the perl core.  All tables could in theory be written, but some are
# suppressed because there is no current practical use for them.  It is easy
# to change which get written by changing various lists that are near the top
# of the actual code in this file.  The table data structures contain enough
# ancillary information to allow them to be treated as separate entities for
# writing, such as the path to each one's file.  There is a heading in each
# map table that gives the format of its entries, and what the map is for all
# the code points missing from it.  (This allows tables to be more compact.)
#
# The Property data structure contains one or more tables.  All properties
# contain a map table (except the $perl property which is a
# pseudo-property containing only match tables), and any properties that
# are usable in regular expression matches also contain various matching
# tables, one for each value the property can have.  A binary property can
# have two values, True and False (or Y and N, which are preferred by Unicode
# terminology).  Thus each of these properties will have a map table that
# takes every code point and maps it to Y or N (but having ranges cuts the
# number of entries in that table way down), and two match tables, one
# which has a list of all the code points that map to Y, and one for all the
# code points that map to N.  (For each binary property, a third table is also
# generated for the pseudo Perl property.  It contains the identical code
# points as the Y table, but can be written in regular expressions, not in the
# compound form, but in a "single" form like \p{IsUppercase}.)  Many
# properties are binary, but some properties have several possible values,
# some have many, and properties like Name have a different value for every
# named code point.  Those will not, unless the controlling lists are changed,
# have their match tables written out.  But all the ones which can be used in
# regular expression \p{} and \P{} constructs will.  Prior to 5.14, generally
# a property would have either its map table or its match tables written but
# not both.  Again, what gets written is controlled by lists which can easily
# be changed.  Starting in 5.14, advantage was taken of this, and all the map
# tables needed to reconstruct the Unicode db are now written out, while
# suppressing the Unicode .txt files that contain the data.  Our tables are
# much more compact than the .txt files, so a significant space savings was
# achieved.  Also, tables are not written out that are trivially derivable
# from tables that do get written.  So, there typically is no file containing
# the code points not matched by a binary property (the table for \P{} versus
# lowercase \p{}), since you just need to invert the True table to get the
# False table.

# Properties have a 'Type', like 'binary', or 'string', or 'enum' depending on
# how many match tables there are and the content of the maps.  This 'Type' is
# different than a range 'Type', so don't get confused by the two concepts
# having the same name.
#
# For information about the Unicode properties, see Unicode's UAX44 document:

my $unicode_reference_url = 'http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/';

# As stated earlier, this program will work on any release of Unicode so far.
# Most obvious problems in earlier data have NOT been corrected except when
# necessary to make Perl or this program work reasonably, and to keep out
# potential security issues.  For example, no folding information was given in
# early releases, so this program substitutes lower case instead, just so that
# a regular expression with the /i option will do something that actually
# gives the right results in many cases.  There are also a couple other
# corrections for version 1.1.5, commented at the point they are made.  As an
# example of corrections that weren't made (but could be) is this statement
# from DerivedAge.txt: "The supplementary private use code points and the
# non-character code points were assigned in version 2.0, but not specifically
# listed in the UCD until versions 3.0 and 3.1 respectively."  (To be precise
# it was 3.0.1 not 3.0.0)  More information on Unicode version glitches is
# further down in these introductory comments.
#
# This program works on all non-provisional properties as of the current
# Unicode release, though the files for some are suppressed for various
# reasons.  You can change which are output by changing lists in this program.
#
# The old version of mktables emphasized the term "Fuzzy" to mean Unicode's
# loose matchings rules (from Unicode TR18):
#
#    The recommended names for UCD properties and property values are in
#    PropertyAliases.txt [Prop] and PropertyValueAliases.txt
#    [PropValue]. There are both abbreviated names and longer, more
#    descriptive names. It is strongly recommended that both names be
#    recognized, and that loose matching of property names be used,
#    whereby the case distinctions, whitespace, hyphens, and underbar
#    are ignored.
#
# The program still allows Fuzzy to override its determination of if loose
# matching should be used, but it isn't currently used, as it is no longer
# needed; the calculations it makes are good enough.
#
# SUMMARY OF HOW IT WORKS:
#
#   Process arguments
#
#   A list is constructed containing each input file that is to be processed
#
#   Each file on the list is processed in a loop, using the associated handler
#   code for each:
#        The PropertyAliases.txt and PropValueAliases.txt files are processed
#            first.  These files name the properties and property values.
#            Objects are created of all the property and property value names
#            that the rest of the input should expect, including all synonyms.
#        The other input files give mappings from properties to property
#           values.  That is, they list code points and say what the mapping
#           is under the given property.  Some files give the mappings for
#           just one property; and some for many.  This program goes through
#           each file and populates the properties and their map tables from
#           them.  Some properties are listed in more than one file, and
#           Unicode has set up a precedence as to which has priority if there
#           is a conflict.  Thus the order of processing matters, and this
#           program handles the conflict possibility by processing the
#           overriding input files last, so that if necessary they replace
#           earlier values.
#        After this is all done, the program creates the property mappings not
#            furnished by Unicode, but derivable from what it does give.
#        The tables of code points that match each property value in each
#            property that is accessible by regular expressions are created.
#        The Perl-defined properties are created and populated.  Many of these
#            require data determined from the earlier steps
#        Any Perl-defined synonyms are created, and name clashes between Perl
#            and Unicode are reconciled and warned about.
#        All the properties are written to files
#        Any other files are written, and final warnings issued.
#
# For clarity, a number of operators have been overloaded to work on tables:
#   ~ means invert (take all characters not in the set).  The more
#       conventional '!' is not used because of the possibility of confusing
#       it with the actual boolean operation.
#   + means union
#   - means subtraction
#   & means intersection
# The precedence of these is the order listed.  Parentheses should be
# copiously used.  These are not a general scheme.  The operations aren't
# defined for a number of things, deliberately, to avoid getting into trouble.
# Operations are done on references and affect the underlying structures, so
# that the copy constructors for them have been overloaded to not return a new
# clone, but the input object itself.
#
# The bool operator is deliberately not overloaded to avoid confusion with
# "should it mean if the object merely exists, or also is non-empty?".
#
# WHY CERTAIN DESIGN DECISIONS WERE MADE
#
# This program needs to be able to run under miniperl.  Therefore, it uses a
# minimum of other modules, and hence implements some things itself that could
# be gotten from CPAN
#
# This program uses inputs published by the Unicode Consortium.  These can
# change incompatibly between releases without the Perl maintainers realizing
# it.  Therefore this program is now designed to try to flag these.  It looks
# at the directories where the inputs are, and flags any unrecognized files.
# It keeps track of all the properties in the files it handles, and flags any
# that it doesn't know how to handle.  It also flags any input lines that
# don't match the expected syntax, among other checks.
#
# It is also designed so if a new input file matches one of the known
# templates, one hopefully just needs to add it to a list to have it
# processed.
#
# As mentioned earlier, some properties are given in more than one file.  In
# particular, the files in the extracted directory are supposedly just
# reformattings of the others.  But they contain information not easily
# derivable from the other files, including results for Unihan (which isn't
# usually available to this program) and for unassigned code points.  They
# also have historically had errors or been incomplete.  In an attempt to
# create the best possible data, this program thus processes them first to
# glean information missing from the other files; then processes those other
# files to override any errors in the extracted ones.  Much of the design was
# driven by this need to store things and then possibly override them.
#
# It tries to keep fatal errors to a minimum, to generate something usable for
# testing purposes.  It always looks for files that could be inputs, and will
# warn about any that it doesn't know how to handle (the -q option suppresses
# the warning).
#
# Why is there more than one type of range?
#   This simplified things.  There are some very specialized code points that
#   have to be handled specially for output, such as Hangul syllable names.
#   By creating a range type (done late in the development process), it
#   allowed this to be stored with the range, and overridden by other input.
#   Originally these were stored in another data structure, and it became a
#   mess trying to decide if a second file that was for the same property was
#   overriding the earlier one or not.
#
# Why are there two kinds of tables, match and map?
#   (And there is a base class shared by the two as well.)  As stated above,
#   they actually are for different things.  Development proceeded much more
#   smoothly when I (khw) realized the distinction.  Map tables are used to
#   give the property value for every code point (actually every code point
#   that doesn't map to a default value).  Match tables are used for regular
#   expression matches, and are essentially the inverse mapping.  Separating
#   the two allows more specialized methods, and error checks so that one
#   can't just take the intersection of two map tables, for example, as that
#   is nonsensical.
#
# What about 'fate' and 'status'.  The concept of a table's fate was created
#   late when it became clear that something more was needed.  The difference
#   between this and 'status' is unclean, and could be improved if someone
#   wanted to spend the effort.
#
# DEBUGGING
#
# This program is written so it will run under miniperl.  Occasionally changes
# will cause an error where the backtrace doesn't work well under miniperl.
# To diagnose the problem, you can instead run it under regular perl, if you
# have one compiled.
#
# There is a good trace facility.  To enable it, first sub DEBUG must be set
# to return true.  Then a line like
#
# local $to_trace = 1 if main::DEBUG;
#
# can be added to enable tracing in its lexical scope (plus dynamic) or until
# you insert another line:
#
# local $to_trace = 0 if main::DEBUG;
#
# To actually trace, use a line like "trace $a, @b, %c, ...;
#
# Some of the more complex subroutines already have trace statements in them.
# Permanent trace statements should be like:
#
# trace ... if main::DEBUG && $to_trace;
#
# If there is just one or a few files that you're debugging, you can easily
# cause most everything else to be skipped.  Change the line
#
# my $debug_skip = 0;
#
# to 1, and every file whose object is in @input_file_objects and doesn't have
# a, 'non_skip => 1,' in its constructor will be skipped.  However, skipping
# Jamo.txt or UnicodeData.txt will likely cause fatal errors.
#
# To compare the output tables, it may be useful to specify the -annotate
# flag.  (As of this writing, this can't be done on a clean workspace, due to
# requirements in Text::Tabs used in this option; so first run mktables
# without this option.)  This option adds comment lines to each table, one for
# each non-algorithmically named character giving, currently its code point,
# name, and graphic representation if printable (and you have a font that
# knows about it).  This makes it easier to see what the particular code
# points are in each output table.  Non-named code points are annotated with a
# description of their status, and contiguous ones with the same description
# will be output as a range rather than individually.  Algorithmically named
# characters are also output as ranges, except when there are just a few
# contiguous ones.
#
# FUTURE ISSUES
#
# The program would break if Unicode were to change its names so that
# interior white space, underscores, or dashes differences were significant
# within property and property value names.
#
# It might be easier to use the xml versions of the UCD if this program ever
# would need heavy revision, and the ability to handle old versions was not
# required.
#
# There is the potential for name collisions, in that Perl has chosen names
# that Unicode could decide it also likes.  There have been such collisions in
# the past, with mostly Perl deciding to adopt the Unicode definition of the
# name.  However in the 5.2 Unicode beta testing, there were a number of such
# collisions, which were withdrawn before the final release, because of Perl's
# and other's protests.  These all involved new properties which began with
# 'Is'.  Based on the protests, Unicode is unlikely to try that again.  Also,
# many of the Perl-defined synonyms, like Any, Word, etc, are listed in a
# Unicode document, so they are unlikely to be used by Unicode for another
# purpose.  However, they might try something beginning with 'In', or use any
# of the other Perl-defined properties.  This program will warn you of name
# collisions, and refuse to generate tables with them, but manual intervention
# will be required in this event.  One scheme that could be implemented, if
# necessary, would be to have this program generate another file, or add a
# field to mktables.lst that gives the date of first definition of a property.
# Each new release of Unicode would use that file as a basis for the next
# iteration.  And the Perl synonym addition code could sort based on the age
# of the property, so older properties get priority, and newer ones that clash
# would be refused; hence existing code would not be impacted, and some other
# synonym would have to be used for the new property.  This is ugly, and
# manual intervention would certainly be easier to do in the short run; lets
# hope it never comes to this.
#
# A NOTE ON UNIHAN
#
# This program can generate tables from the Unihan database.  But that db
# isn't normally available, so it is marked as optional.  Prior to version
# 5.2, this database was in a single file, Unihan.txt.  In 5.2 the database
# was split into 8 different files, all beginning with the letters 'Unihan'.
# If you plunk those files down into the directory mktables ($0) is in, this
# program will read them and automatically create tables for the properties
# from it that are listed in PropertyAliases.txt and PropValueAliases.txt,
# plus any you add to the @cjk_properties array and the @cjk_property_values
# array, being sure to add necessary '# @missings' lines to the latter.  For
# Unicode versions earlier than 5.2, most of the Unihan properties are not
# listed at all in PropertyAliases nor PropValueAliases.  This program assumes
# for these early releases that you want the properties that are specified in
# the 5.2 release.
#
# You may need to adjust the entries to suit your purposes.  setup_unihan(),
# and filter_unihan_line() are the functions where this is done.  This program
# already does some adjusting to make the lines look more like the rest of the
# Unicode DB;  You can see what that is in filter_unihan_line()
#
# There is a bug in the 3.2 data file in which some values for the
# kPrimaryNumeric property have commas and an unexpected comment.  A filter
# could be added to correct these; or for a particular installation, the
# Unihan.txt file could be edited to fix them.
#
# HOW TO ADD A FILE TO BE PROCESSED
#
# A new file from Unicode needs to have an object constructed for it in
# @input_file_objects, probably at the end or at the end of the extracted
# ones.  The program should warn you if its name will clash with others on
# restrictive file systems, like DOS.  If so, figure out a better name, and
# add lines to the README.perl file giving that.  If the file is a character
# property, it should be in the format that Unicode has implicitly
# standardized for such files for the more recently introduced ones.
# If so, the Input_file constructor for @input_file_objects can just be the
# file name and release it first appeared in.  If not, then it should be
# possible to construct an each_line_handler() to massage the line into the
# standardized form.
#
# For non-character properties, more code will be needed.  You can look at
# the existing entries for clues.
#
# UNICODE VERSIONS NOTES
#
# The Unicode UCD has had a number of errors in it over the versions.  And
# these remain, by policy, in the standard for that version.  Therefore it is
# risky to correct them, because code may be expecting the error.  So this
# program doesn't generally make changes, unless the error breaks the Perl
# core.  As an example, some versions of 2.1.x Jamo.txt have the wrong value
# for U+1105, which causes real problems for the algorithms for Jamo
# calculations, so it is changed here.
#
# But it isn't so clear cut as to what to do about concepts that are
# introduced in a later release; should they extend back to earlier releases
# where the concept just didn't exist?  It was easier to do this than to not,
# so that's what was done.  For example, the default value for code points not
# in the files for various properties was probably undefined until changed by
# some version.  No_Block for blocks is such an example.  This program will
# assign No_Block even in Unicode versions that didn't have it.  This has the
# benefit that code being written doesn't have to special case earlier
# versions; and the detriment that it doesn't match the Standard precisely for
# the affected versions.
#
# Here are some observations about some of the issues in early versions:
#
# Prior to version 3.0, there were 3 character decompositions.  These are not
# handled by Unicode::Normalize, nor will it compile when presented a version
# that has them.  However, you can trivially get it to compile by simply
# ignoring those decompositions, by changing the croak to a carp.  At the time
# of this writing, the line (in cpan/Unicode-Normalize/Normalize.pm or
# cpan/Unicode-Normalize/mkheader) reads
#
#   croak("Weird Canonical Decomposition of U+$h");
#
# Simply comment it out.  It will compile, but will not know about any three
# character decompositions.

# The number of code points in \p{alpha=True} halved in 2.1.9.  It turns out
# that the reason is that the CJK block starting at 4E00 was removed from
# PropList, and was not put back in until 3.1.0.  The Perl extension (the
# single property name \p{alpha}) has the correct values.  But the compound
# form is simply not generated until 3.1, as it can be argued that prior to
# this release, this was not an official property.  The comments for
# filter_old_style_proplist() give more details.
#
# Unicode introduced the synonym Space for White_Space in 4.1.  Perl has
# always had a \p{Space}.  In release 3.2 only, they are not synonymous.  The
# reason is that 3.2 introduced U+205F=medium math space, which was not
# classed as white space, but Perl figured out that it should have been. 4.0
# reclassified it correctly.
#
# Another change between 3.2 and 4.0 is the CCC property value ATBL.  In 3.2
# this was erroneously a synonym for 202 (it should be 200).  In 4.0, ATB
# became 202, and ATBL was left with no code points, as all the ones that
# mapped to 202 stayed mapped to 202.  Thus if your program used the numeric
# name for the class, it would not have been affected, but if it used the
# mnemonic, it would have been.
#
# \p{Script=Hrkt} (Katakana_Or_Hiragana) came in 4.0.1.  Before that, code
# points which eventually came to have this script property value, instead
# mapped to "Unknown".  But in the next release all these code points were
# moved to \p{sc=common} instead.

# The tests furnished  by Unicode for testing WordBreak and SentenceBreak
# generate errors in 5.0 and earlier.
#
# The default for missing code points for BidiClass is complicated.  Starting
# in 3.1.1, the derived file DBidiClass.txt handles this, but this program
# tries to do the best it can for earlier releases.  It is done in
# process_PropertyAliases()
#
# In version 2.1.2, the entry in UnicodeData.txt:
#   0275;LATIN SMALL LETTER BARRED O;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;;;;019F;
# should instead be
#   0275;LATIN SMALL LETTER BARRED O;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;;;019F;;019F
# Without this change, there are casing problems for this character.
#
# Search for $string_compare_versions to see how to compare changes to

package Input_file;

# All input files use this object, which stores various attributes about them,
# and provides for convenient, uniform handling.  The run method wraps the
# processing.  It handles all the bookkeeping of opening, reading, and closing
# the file, returning only significant input lines.
#
# Each object gets a handler which processes the body of the file, and is
# called by run().  All character property files must use the generic,
# default handler, which has code scrubbed to handle things you might not
# expect, including automatic EBCDIC handling.  For files that don't deal with
# mapping code points to a property value, such as test files,
# PropertyAliases, PropValueAliases, and named sequences, you can override the
# handler to be a custom one.  Such a handler should basically be a
# while(next_line()) {...} loop.
#
# You can also set up handlers to
#   0) call during object construction time, after everything else is done
#   1) call before the first line is read, for pre processing
#   2) call to adjust each line of the input before the main handler gets
#      them.  This can be automatically generated, if appropriately simple
#      enough, by specifiying a Properties parameter in the constructor.
#   3) call upon EOF before the main handler exits its loop
#   4) call at the end, for post processing
#
# $_ is used to store the input line, and is to be filtered by the
# each_line_handler()s.  So, if the format of the line is not in the desired
# format for the main handler, these are used to do that adjusting.  They can
# be stacked (by enclosing them in an [ anonymous array ] in the constructor,
# so the $_ output of one is used as the input to the next.  The eof handler
# is also stackable, but none of the others are, but could easily be changed
# to be so.
#
# Some properties are used by the Perl core but aren't defined until later
# Unicode releases.  The perl interpreter would have problems working when
# compiled with an earlier Unicode version that doesn't have them, so we need
# to define them somehow for those releases.  The 'Early' constructor
# parameter can be used to automatically handle this.  It is essentially
# ignored if the Unicode version being compiled has a data file for this
# property.  Either code to execute or a file to read can be specified.
# Details are at the %early definition.
#
# Most of the handlers can call insert_lines() or insert_adjusted_lines()
# which insert the parameters as lines to be processed before the next input
# file line is read.  This allows the EOF handler(s) to flush buffers, for
# example.  The difference between the two routines is that the lines inserted
# by insert_lines() are subjected to the each_line_handler()s.  (So if you
# called it from such a handler, you would get infinite recursion without some
# mechanism to prevent that.)  Lines inserted by insert_adjusted_lines() go
# directly to the main handler without any adjustments.  If the
# post-processing handler calls any of these, there will be no effect.  Some
# error checking for these conditions could be added, but it hasn't been done.
#
# carp_bad_line() should be called to warn of bad input lines, which clears $_
# to prevent further processing of the line.  This routine will output the
# message as a warning once, and then keep a count of the lines that have the
# same message, and output that count at the end of the file's processing.
# This keeps the number of messages down to a manageable amount.
#
# get_missings() should be called to retrieve any @missing input lines.
# Messages will be raised if this isn't done if the options aren't to ignore
# missings.

    # compilation, and tell you where to get the necessary file(s), and what
    # name(s) to use to store them as.
    # In the case of specifying an alternate file, the array must contain two

    # [1] is the name of the property that will be generated by this file.

    # version being compiled, this should be a name accessible only by core
    # perl.  If it is the same name as the regular property, the constructor
    # will mark the output table as a $PLACEHOLDER so that it doesn't actually
    # get output, and so will be unusable by non-core code.  Otherwise it gets
    # marked as $INTERNAL_ONLY.

    # [2] is a property value to assign (only when compiling Unicode 1.1.5) to
    # the Hangul syllables in that release (which were ripped out in version
    # 2) for the given property .  (Hence it is ignored except when compiling
    # version 1.  You only get one value that applies to all of them, which
    # may not be the actual reality, but probably nobody cares anyway for
    # these obsolete characters.)
