-Subject: [PATCH] Unicode::UCD::prop_invlist() Allow to return internal
- property
-
-This creates an optional undocumented parameter to this function to
-allow it to return the inversion list of an internal-only Perl property.
-This will be used by other functions in Perl, but should not be
-documented, as we don't want to encourage the use of internal-only
-properties, which are subject to change or removal without notice.
