Er, I am in direct disagreement.  I'm saying the characters in the
UTF8 standard (the only one I care about) are organized in categories
but not function.  Whitespace is not together, punctuation is not
together, and it's not easy to convert between cases as easy as it was
in ASCII.  It would have been organized better, but it wasn't -- we
could have avoided these mappings, but it's done..
