in thread stuck with a \N{CHAR NAME} problem

Auto-loading :full would be most desireable, but it wouldn't help here.

It seems to me the OP's issue could be resolved by attaching charnames data to statements (just like strict flags). Then, qr// could translate \N{NAME} to \N{U+NUM} at run-time just like it does at compile-time. That would even handle aliases. Is that hard to do?
