Wanted to know if the above link idea, had been implemented and if
there's a module that accepts a pattern like 'cap' and give you all the
instances of unicode 'CAP' characters.
⋂ \bigcap
⊓ \sqcap
∩ \cap
♑ \capricornus
⪸ \succapprox
⪷ \precapprox
(above's from tex)
I found two useful modules in this regard: unicode_tex, unicodedata
but unicodedata is a builtin which does not do globs, regexs - so it's
kind of limiting in nature.
Would be nice if you could search html/xml character entity references
as well.
