"""
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)
