  Well, you can do ranges and Unicode perfectly well in Perl 5 (or 6, for that matter), without having to know anything about inversion lists.
  
  Don't get me wrong: inversion lists are a cool data structure, and the article is fine, and the Cultured Perl series is worth following.
  
  Inversion lists are a neat concept that happens to match the data of Unicode character database rather nicely

    Heh, I always get grief for the article blurbs.
    

    
    Those are written by the IBM editors, and I don't see them until the article is published. Usually they are OK, but (as in this example) they say something that's not... well... exactly the way I would say it :)
