Uhhh, why? Not that I have anything in particular against East Asian
widths, but why it has to be included in core Perl?
Well, why add EastAsianWidth.txt in the unicore/ in the first place? :-)
Because it comes with the standard Unicode data files...
User-defined Unicode character properties (character classes), are publicly
documented in perlunicode.pod.
I'll be happy to oblige and make a U::EAW with that, then.
If it is found to work fine, we can certainly merge that later back
into the core (maybe when Unicode 3.2.1 comes out).
