R help - Mar 2016 - Unicode Text Segmentation Algorithms already implemented in R?

Hello list members,

I am looking for an implementation of Unicode text segmentation (word boundary
detection) algorithms in R. You can find information about the algorithms here:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries

The help page for the function ?casefuns? from the excellent ?Unicode? package
says: "Other methods will be added eventually (once the Unicode text
segmentation algorithm is implemented for detecting word boundaries).? My simple
question is: Are these algorithms already implemented in an R package? I didn?t
find anything on the web, but I am counting on the power of this list. My
Stata-using colleague is already picking at me? (in Stata, the function
?ustrword? does exactly what I want to do in R).

Thanks for your help, have a good day, you all!
Sascha W.

You searched, but did not tell us what you found, nor why it was unsuitable
for you undescribed use case. So all we can do is guess: my guess is
http://docs.rexamine.com/R-man/stringi/stringi-search-boundaries.html

Best,
