I just did a push.  Right now things are in transition and there is a lot of breakage.

I have been porting unit tests and code from the Ropes implementation.  [10 of 56 unit tests fail].

I am currently working on the implementation of line and word breaks.  This is covered in two appendices in the Unicode standard weighing in at about 100 pages of description that combine character classes and scanning.  A bit more complex than one would like.

Apologies for "going dark". I am making progress. At this point you have discovered me with a wrench and screw driver in hand with the machine open and parts scattered all over the floor.

More later,
