For earlier discussion, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/14656
This issue was labelled with: A-libs, I-enhancement in the Rust repository
There's been lots of talk about unicode over the years. We have little support in the core libs, but need to provide something better for serious use. Best idea now is to wrestle libicu into a Rust crate. Start out-of-tree.
