# Rule 3:  Treat a grapheme cluster as if it were a single character.
#          Hangul Syllables are easier to deal with here than they are in Grapheme Clusters
#          because we don't need to find the boundaries between adjacent syllables -
#          they won't be word boundaries.
#


#
#  "Extended"  definitions.  Grapheme Cluster + Format Chars, treated like the base char.

#     - may include both letters and numbers.
#     - may include  MideLetter, MidNumber punctuation.

#  Ideographic Characters.  Stand by themselves as words.
#                           Separated from the "Everything Else" rule, below, only so that they
#                           can be tagged with a return value.   TODO:  is this what we want?

#

# NonStarters are the set of all characters that can appear at the 2nd - nth position of
#    a word.   (They may also be the first.)   The reverse rule skips over these, until it
#    reaches something that can only be the start (and probably only) char in a "word".
#    A space or punctuation meets the test.
