//! Character-property helpers built on top of `std`'s built-in Unicode tables.
//!
//! This avoids pulling in a heavyweight Unicode-data crate while still being
//! correct for the common properties. Full `\p{...}` coverage and full
//! case-folding are roadmap items.

/// Whether `c` is a digit (`\d`).
///
/// In ASCII mode this is `[0-9]`; in Unicode mode it is the Unicode
/// general category `Nd` (decimal number). Rust's `std` does not expose
/// `General_Category` directly, so the Unicode branch uses
/// [`char::is_numeric`], which covers `Nd + Nl + No`. This is slightly
/// broader than strict `Nd` (it also matches e.g. `½` and Roman numerals);
/// tightening this to exactly `Nd` is a roadmap item pending a Unicode
