Thanks.

I wonder if there's a better way, in particular with a smaller memory
footprint.  Doesn't map-char-table work well enough to avoid
generating all the names up front?

It doesn't seem to work; for some reason the Unicode name table appears very small (only 136 code points) when map-char-table is called from C and lacks most characters.

This should use MAX_UNICODE_CHAR.


Done, attached a new patch.
