That's the idea. Terms are case-insensitive and underscores and spaces are considered to be equivalent. So you could say

codepointProperty("é", "Decomposition_Type")  -- E-Acute, if something eats the Unicode text

and the result (in this case) would be "Canonical".

Some property types might not be implemented and will give you a "bad property name" error - some of the listed properties don't seem to be provided by ICU (mostly deprecated properties).
