Quite a few codepoints have been added in the last two years. An upgrade would be much appreciated.

tpope commented

Sure would!

Great! Do you still have the script handy that you used to generate the dict, or do you accept a pull request? (I imagine it's going to be a large diff. I can't promise anything.)

IIRC all I did was paste the full list into a text file and use <C-V> block editing to beat it into shape.

I don't remember where I got the list.

http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt is what Vim/Neovim use. This lua script parses that file and builds a lua table, it could be a good starting point.
