Done.

I created a test to compare the performance of the following configurations:
1) original code
2) new code with packing
3) new code without packing

All configurations are run 1000 times to calculate line breaking opportunities between all adjacent chars in break_lines.cpp itself. The differences among the timings are very small (<5%).

> Is there such a thing as “Internet Explorer 8 compatible mode”? What is it compatible with? Can we just say that this is done for compatibility with that thing? It’s slightly confusing to read about IE8 here and about Firefox above. I suggest putting all the specifics of the table in one place. Here it’s enough to say that we use the lookup table because it’s faster and it has different rules from the Unicode specification.

Done. B macro doesn't need change.

Done. See above about byte packing and shifting.
