    Non-spacing diacritics had better not be word boundaries, otherwise a
    string like Québec (spelled with U+0301, as here) would be considered
    two words. I don't have time right now to look up the relevant
    properties and UAX's, but I sincerely hope this is just another
    "Philippe mistake" and not a general misinterpretation that anyone might
    make.
