Re: Fwd: Announcing The Unicode(R) Standard, Version 15.0

If it's not clear what to do, it's an issue whether we bump the version now
or later. Kicking the can down the road for something we mean to be
floating helps no one.

In general, though. this is a by programmer, for programmer, thing that no
one else cares about or is affected by. I have a tragic user-facing
infamous bug from a programmer parsing `ls -l` rather than using `stat`,
and this is an area we should not care deeply about, or worry too much
about portability, because that is the direction of madness.
