It's nice to be able to point to a standard for regexes, but Unicode properties are an invaluable part of writing regexes when dealing with non-ascii text. They are supported by Java, ICU, Perl, and PCRE. If need be, they could be enabled by a flag. I'd definitely recommend providing \p{} and \P{} constructs covering the full unicode standard, but would also highly suggest allowing \pX for single-char properties too.

\p and \P properites are part of UTS 18 standard. Superseded by the request for UTS 18 level 1 support: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6261 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 6261 ***

Making this a blocker to 6403. Not sure if it matters much, but 6261 definitely isn't what you meant.

Right, and it's definitely better this way.
