I think it will be a good idea to have these functionalities as add on 
libraries. All these Unicode related attributes need a lot of data (it's not 
only case mapping), and not everybody needs it. In addition there are other 
complicated encodings (at least for a german native) supported by Ruby, which 
should be taken into account too.

For some applications it may be of interest that Ruby takes care of memory 
resources.
