Here are my questions:
1. Given the regular expressions below, how should
composition-function-table be adjust so only those patterns are
composed?
2. How to optimize the patterns in order not to slow down display of
letters without points and give hebrew-composable-pattern-basic priority
over hebrew-composable-pattern-full performance-wise?
3. Is the composition of script-specific characters from Hebrew bloc
(0590) with non-script-specific marks from the combining marks bloc
(0300) currently possible?
4. How to set the language environment so composition displays the correct
presentation form for the given language?
I believe if we get the answers for these questions we are nearly done
with Hebrew composition. The only missing thing would be influence of
ZWJ, ZWNJ and CGJ on certain combinations.
