It's certainly true that there are many long unbreakable character sequences in
Unicode (another example is decomposed Roman text, e.g. U+0065 U+0301 U+0302
for é̂). But are there cases where unlimited look-ahead is necessary? It
certainly isn't in my example, because each accent has appropriate Unicode
properties that tell us about it being composed with the previous character.

Anything that's correct, not too complicated, and doesn't regress performance
of other ports is fine with me.
