Re: Is \p{EastAsianFullwidth} worth implementing?

But as it overrides core modules's behaviours, I'd hesitate to release it
as a CPAN module (Unicode::EastAsianWidth), but rather suggest it to
be included in core perl.

Uhhh, why?  Not that I have anything in particular against East Asian
widths, but why it has to be included in core Perl?  User-defined
Unicode character properties (character classes), are publicly
documented in perlunicode.pod.

Are there any hidden drawbacks or other problems with this idea?

Thanks,
