+For each argument on the command line, look for it in the set of all Unicode
+names. Arguments are treated as case-insensitive regular expressions, e.g.:
+
+ % find-uname 'small letter a$' 'horizontal line'
+ *** small letter a$ matches ***
+ LATIN SMALL LETTER A (97)
+ COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER A (867)
+ CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A (1072)
+ PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER A (9372)
+ CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER A (9424)
+ FULLWIDTH LATIN SMALL LETTER A (65345)
+ *** horizontal line matches ***
+ HORIZONTAL LINE EXTENSION (9135)
