Hi Tim.  Yay!

Very good to split things up, thank you.  Let's try to do low-hanging
fruit one at a time.

Can you write self-tests that trigger these issues?  That makes it much
easier to evaluate the patches.

How much do the table grow by adding UNASSIGNED code points to the
library size?  I like the patch in general, but I am concerned that it
adds a lot of static size to the library.  Is having the UNASSIGNED
code points in the idna_table array really necessary?  It seems your
search function results UNASSIGNED if result==NULL anyway?  I don't
recall if there is any semantic difference between a code point that is
UNASSIGNED and a code point that does not have any property at all.
