      First, most of the character type constants (LOWERCASE_LETTER etc) don't
      have javadoc comments. They should say (a) that they're values returned
      by getType(), (b) what the constant means, in terms of Unicode 2.x (as
      associated with the relevant version of the spec), (c) the two-letter
      version of the name, used in as many specs as the long name (e.g. "Ll"
      is the same as "LOWERCASE_LETTER".

      Second, the doc for getType doesn't say that it returns standard
      Unicode types, or indicate that the constants LOWERCASE_LETTER etc
      are what get returned. (There's a recent @see, but the full coupling
      isn't there...)
