Comment:
This is a regression test for the available Unicode database
methods and functions.

There's one problem with it: it takes a few seconds to run because
it has to check 64k characters...

Comment:
umm.  you did mean "return h.hexdigest()" rather than
"return repr(h)", didn't you?

I also think the code is quite a bit more hypergeneralized (read slow) than it really has to be...  (e.g. if a method is missing or chokes on the data, why pretend it returned an empty string?)

Comment:
RE: .hexdigest: good idea !

RE: generalization: the exception handling is needed because
some methods raise errors for e.g. non-numbers. I don't think
that inlining the tests will change much about the execution
speed... it will still be slow.
