Starting with Unicode 6.3, the mongolian vowel separator (U+180e) is no longer a whitespace, but for Tcl it still is.
"NEL/Next Line" (U+0085) should have been a Unicode whitespace, but never was in Tcl. This is corrected in Tcl 8.6, but for legacy reasons not in Tcl 8.5. Update documentation accordingly, and extend test-cases for Unicode 7 compliance.
