Research direction
Start by locating the library's uses of the unicode-xid crate, especially is_xid_start and is_xid_continue, then inspect the lexer functions that could replace them. Confirm which dependency and call sites would be removed, and verify that the lexer provides equivalent Unicode identifier behavior.
