But this is Ilya's \N{}, right? :-)
Honestly, I don't remember. Darn it, I must get my hands to a copy of
1003.2...
Found where I'd read about it. Friedl, pp. 80-81. Looks like we're okay
for character equivalents, although there is a mention to multi-character
names being allowed for character equivalents. The tricky one is
collating sequences, which include [.span-ll.] and [.eszet.], both of
which can potentially match multiple characters (which I would guess would
cause severe pain to the regex engine).
