Attached is a sample implementation of `list-script-chars'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Display a list of characters belonging to SCRIPT.
The list is displayed in a buffer named "*Character List*".
In that buffer, the target characters are highlighted, and you
can copy each of them to kill ring by clicking them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently it has a special handler only for "latin".  For
ideographic characters, classifying characters by radical
and stroke number may be convenient.  For hangul,
classifying characters by "Choseong" may be convenient.  For
Indic and SEA scripts, categorizing characters by consonant,
dependent-vowel, independent-vowel, etc may be convenient.

It is easy to make it work as you wrote above when a user
enters null SCRIPT (or enters "all").
