/* Adds Unicode code point syntax to XRegExp: \u{n..} | |
* `n..` is any 1-6 digit hexadecimal number from 0-10FFFF. Comes from ES6 proposals. Code points | |
* above U+FFFF are converted to surrogate pairs, so e.g. `\u{20B20}` is simply an alternate syntax | |
* for `\uD842\uDF20`. This can lead to broken behavior if you follow a `\u{n..}` token that | |
* references a code point above U+FFFF with a quantifier, or if you use the same in a character | |
* class. Using `\u{n..}` with code points above U+FFFF is therefore not recommended, unless you | |
* know exactly what you're doing. XRegExp's handling follows ES6 proposals for `\u{n..}`, since | |
* compatibility concerns prevent JavaScript regexes from changing to be based on code points | |
* rather than code units by default. | |

This extension was included in the XRegExp Unicode Base v1.0.0 prerelease until v1.0.0-rc-2. It is not currently in any official XRegExp addon.
