Okay, in that case we have to downgrade the reference to Level 2, and say
something like "Level 2 except for word boundaries, which are at Level 1."
I'm good with that.

(Are we really at Level 2?  I haven't checked, but I'm doubtful.)

We're at level 2 for grapheme clusters.

We deliberately don't do normalization or level 2
case folding, and now are backing off of the word
boundaries.

The remaining parts of level 2 are the property
support, which the SRE design allows us to
provide as separate libraries.
