Unicode character handling
--------------------------

Given that the Markdown spec makes no provision for Unicode character handling, `Sundown`
takes a conservative approach towards deciding which extended characters trigger Markdown
features:

* Punctuation characters outside of the U+007F codepoint are not handled as punctuation.
They are considered as normal, in-word characters for word-boundary checks.

* Whitespace characters outside of the U+007F codepoint are not considered as
whitespace. They are considered as normal, in-word characters for word-boundary checks.
