            a D source code generator for detection of $(CODEPOINTS) in this set.
            This is a boon for meta-programming parser frameworks,

            construct custom tries that map dchar to value.
            The end result is a fast and predictable $(BIGOH 1) lookup that powers
            functions like $(LREF isAlpha) and $(LREF combiningClass),
            but for user-defined data sets.

        $(LI
            A useful technique for Unicode-aware parsers that perform
            character classification of encoded $(CODEPOINTS)
            is to avoid unnecassary decoding at all costs.
            $(LREF utfMatcher) provides an improvement over the usual workflow
            of decode-classify-process, combining the decoding and classification
            steps. By extracting necessary bits directly from encoded
            $(S_LINK Code unit, code units) matchers achieve
            significant performance improvements. See $(LREF MatcherConcept) for

            property of a given normalization form.

        Hash-tables have enormous memory footprint and binary search
        over intervals is not fast enough for some heavy-duty algorithms.
    )
    $(P The recommended solution (see Unicode Implementation Guidelines)
        is using multi-stage tables that are an implementation of the
        $(HTTP en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie, Trie) data structure with integer
        keys and a fixed number of stages. For the remainder of the section
        this will be called a fixed trie. The following describes a particular
        implementation that is aimed for the speed of access at the expense
        of ideal size savings.
    )
    $(P Taking a 2-level Trie as an example the principle of operation is as follows.
        Split the number of bits in a key (code point, 21 bits) into 2 components
        (e.g. 15 and 8).  The first is the number of bits in the index of the trie
         and the other is number of bits in each page of the trie.
        The layout of the trie is then an array of size 2^^bits-of-index followed
        an array of memory chunks of size 2^^bits-of-page/bits-per-element.
    )
    $(P The number of pages is variable (but not less then 1)
        unlike the number of entries in the index. The slots of the index
        all have to contain a number of a page that is present. The lookup is then
        just a couple of operations - slice the upper bits,
        lookup an index for these, take a page at this index and use
        the lower bits as an offset within this page.

        Assuming that pages are laid out consequently
        in one array at $(D pages), the pseudo-code is:
    )
    ---
    auto elemsPerPage = (2 ^^ bits_per_page) / Value.sizeOfInBits;
    pages[index[n >> bits_per_page]][n & (elemsPerPage - 1)];
    ---
    $(P Where if $(D elemsPerPage) is a power of 2 the whole process is
        a handful of simple instructions and 2 array reads. Subsequent levels
        of the trie are introduced by recursing on this notion - the index array
        is treated as values. The number of bits in index is then again
        split into 2 parts, with pages over 'current-index' and the new 'upper-index'.
    )

    $(P For completeness a level 1 trie is simply an array.
        The current implementation takes advantage of bit-packing values
        when the range is known to be limited in advance (such as $(D bool)).
        See also $(LREF BitPacked) for enforcing it manually.
        The major size advantage however comes from the fact
        that multiple $(B identical pages on every level are merged) by construction.
    )
    $(P The process of constructing a trie is more involved and is hidden from
        the user in a form of the convenience functions $(LREF codepointTrie),
        $(LREF codepointSetTrie) and the even more convenient $(LREF toTrie).
        In general a set or built-in AA with $(D dchar) type

    $(P
    $(D InversionList) is a set of $(CODEPOINTS)
    represented as an array of open-right [a, b$(RPAREN)
    intervals (see $(LREF CodepointInterval) above).
    The name comes from the way the representation reads left to right.
    For instance a set of all values [10, 50$(RPAREN), [80, 90$(RPAREN),
    plus a singular value 60 looks like this:
    )
    ---
    10, 50, 60, 61, 80, 90
    ---
    $(P
    The way to read this is: start with negative meaning that all numbers
    smaller then the next one are not present in this set (and positive
    - the contrary). Then switch positive/negative after each
    number passed from left to right.
    )
    $(P This way negative spans until 10, then positive until 50,
    then negative until 60, then positive until 61, and so on.
    As seen this provides a space-efficient storage of highly redundant data
    that comes in long runs. A description which Unicode $(CHARACTER)
    properties fit nicely. The technique itself could be seen as a variation
    on $(LINK2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding, RLE encoding).
    )

    $(P Sets are value types (just like $(D int) is) thus they

    /**
        Generates string with D source code of unary function with name of
        $(D funcName) taking a single $(D dchar) argument. If $(D funcName) is empty
        the code is adjusted to be a lambda function.

        The function generated tests if the $(CODEPOINT) passed
        belongs to this set or not. The result is to be used with string mixin.
        The intended usage area is aggressive optimization via meta programming
        in parser generators and the like.

        Note: Use with care for relatively small or regular sets. It
        could end up being slower then just using multi-staged tables.

        Example:
        ---
        import std.stdio;

        // construct set directly from [a, b$RPAREN intervals
        auto set = CodepointSet(10, 12, 45, 65, 100, 200);
        writeln(set);
        writeln(set.toSourceCode("func"));
        ---

        The above outputs something along the lines of:
        ---
        bool func(dchar ch)  @safe pure nothrow @nogc
        {
            if (ch < 45)
            {
                if (ch == 10 || ch == 11) return true;
                return false;
            }
            else if (ch < 65) return true;
            else
            {
                if (ch < 100) return false;
                if (ch < 200) return true;
                return false;
            }

        operations per any $(D test)/$(D match).

        any $(CODEPOINTS) that have encoded length that doesn't belong
        to the selected set of lengths. Also the sub-matcher object references
        the parent matcher and must not be used past the liftetime
        of the latter.

        Another caveat of using sub-matcher is that skip is not available
        preciesly because sub-matcher doesn't detect all lengths.

/++
    Convenience function to construct optimal configurations for
    packed Trie from any $(D set) of $(CODEPOINTS).

    The parameter $(D level) indicates the number of trie levels to use,
    allowed values are: 1, 2, 3 or 4. Levels represent different trade-offs
    speed-size wise.

    $(P Level 1 is fastest and the most memory hungry (a bit array). )
    $(P Level 4 is the slowest and has the smallest footprint. )

    See the $(S_LINK Synopsis, Synopsis) section for example.

    Note:
    Level 4 stays very practical (being faster and more predictable)
    compared to using direct lookup on the $(D set) itself.

    $(P Does basic case-insensitive comparison of $(D r1) and $(D r2).
    This function uses simpler comparison rule thus achieving better performance
    than $(LREF icmp). However keep in mind the warning below.)

    Params:
        r1 = an input range of characters
        r2 = an input range of characters

    Returns:
        An $(D int) that is 0 if the strings match,
        &lt;0 if $(D r1) is lexicographically "less" than $(D r2),
        &gt;0 if $(D r1) is lexicographically "greater" than $(D r2)

    Warning:
    This function only handles 1:1 $(CODEPOINT) mapping
    and thus is not sufficient for certain alphabets
    like German, Greek and few others.

    Does case insensitive comparison of `r1` and `r2`.
    Follows the rules of full case-folding mapping.
    This includes matching as equal german ß with "ss" and
    other 1:M $(CODEPOINT) mappings unlike $(LREF sicmp).
    The cost of `icmp` being pedantically correct is
    slightly worse performance.

    Params:

    Returns:
