  • Support wildcard Unicode property values; these were added in 5.29.9

  • Add eg/find-variable-length-lookarounds

  • Add convenience method extract_regexps(); this is a static method on PPIx::Regexp that takes as its argument a PPI::Document and manufactures PPIx::Regexp objects out of anything that parses to a regexp of some sort

  • Don't run illegal character tests before Perl 5.18 unless we're author testing, because they are noisy; the issue is not the Perl version per se, but the version of Unicode: Perl5180delta says it shipped with Unicode 6.2
