Pragma C<use charnames> supports arguments C<:full>, C<:short>, script
names and customized aliases. If C<:full> is present, for expansion of
-C<\N{CHARNAME}> string C<CHARNAME> is first looked in the list of
-standard Unicode names of chars. If C<:short> is present, and
+C<\N{CHARNAME}>, the string C<CHARNAME> is first looked up in the list of
+standard Unicode character names. If C<:short> is present, and
C<CHARNAME> has the form C<SCRIPT:CNAME>, then C<CNAME> is looked up
as a letter in script C<SCRIPT>. If pragma C<use charnames> is used
with script name arguments, then for C<\N{CHARNAME}> the name
Since the Unicode standard uses "U+HHHH", so can you: "\N{U+263a}"
is the Unicode smiley face, or "\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}".

-Here translator() is a subroutine which takes C<CHARNAME> as an
-argument, and returns text to insert into the string instead of the
-C<\N{CHARNAME}> escape. Since the text to insert should be different
-in C<bytes> mode and out of it, the function should check the current
