OK, then please don't hesitate to post questions and ask for help,
including for writing some code, if needed.  This doesn't have to be a
single-person effort (unless you want it to be ;-).  Certainly advice
and answers to questions are abundantly available here, for any code
that is in the core, and for issues related to Unicode.
