That list is still incomplete (e.g. zero width space), and you still have
to deal with the can of worms - aka answering "What is a separator?".

Yes, it is. It's used extensively by various parsers. For example, see the
senders of #isSeparator and #skipSeparators.
Also, consider how the change of behavior affects those methods (along
with other users, e.g. those methods which use the character sets).

According to my measurements, that would be 10-15x slower than the
current implementation. I optimized it for a reason not just for fun.

That's true, but those are inconsistent now.
