Unicode::UCD::casefold() is a function which takes a code point argument and returns a hash of information about its casefold. The first time the function is called, it constructs and caches a hash which contains a sub-hash for every code point that has an "interesting" casefold (there are only somewhat over a thousand such code points). I have found it useful in writing .t tests to have access to the entire data structure, so I've written a minimal function to return that, and have tentatively called it all_casefolds(). My question is: "Would this be a function that others would conceivably want to use, and hence should be documented"? If so, is there a better name?Thread Next
