No, not really.  We collect various blocks of the same scripts
together.

Beware: the Unicode Script property is not identical to ours!  Before
throwing away what we have, please consider how many deviations we
have in practice, and if they are just a few, let's fix only them
individually.  It's easy.  You will have to add some manual heuristics
even if you do use the Unicode Scripts.txt as the basis.
