    The reason I am only interested right now in the characters from
    UnicodeData.txt is that is what the larger project I am working on
    (CLforJava, a pure Java Common Lisp implementation) only parses
    UnicodeData.txt. While eventually we plan to parse Unihan.txt, at the
    present time I am concentrating on parsing all the numbers in
    UnicodeData.txt.

    Besides, the formulation is vague.

    What would be a more accurate formulation?
