I said this on the discord chat but you should really just dynamic load the system icu if it is available.

I probably won't be adding any new features to std.uni. Only finishing off the things that annoy me and reviewing other peoples work.

Ideally. We still need an implementation for CTFE though. Its just a lot of work to shoehorn it in now.
