No; this doesn't parse the Unicode character database;
Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py parses the Unicode character
database.

Generating regexes for classes is straight-forward from
that. Generating regexes for blocks is not possible, since the
standard Unicode database file does not list the blocks; that's a
different file (AFAIK).
