Somebody was working on patches a few months ago, but I have heard no
more. The patches were rather large.
I am aware that this is an issue and I will think about it at some
point, but please do not hold your breath. It will not be soon.

Sadly, no. It would have to become (?:[^\pL\pN]|[a-f]) and I agree this
is not very nice. But it may be the best way to do it ... one of my
thoughts about how to provide this feature automatically is to do
conversions like that internally at compile time rather than having lots
of changes in the exec-time code.

What problems?

Do you mean that you do want it to match \pZ? Or you do want \t to still
match \s when \w, \d, etc are using Unicode properties?
