Can we drop this, please?  I am happy to agree that I was being unclear
(it is a common failing of mine), but I did provide the specification
I coded.  Specifically, and in full, I said:

    For Unicode, whatever people agree!  I use the criterion that it
    has a defined category that doesn't start with 'C' - which is what
    I think that most people will accept.

That is equivalent to the definition you gave.
