Re: [icu-bug] incoming/3746

I see now.  You are talking about the other internal function, which is 
called closeOver. :-(

Then what I stated before, is now my proposed fix for this issue.

It's a public API if you have a pattern. It doesn't help if you've
already got a USet: give an existing USet, the only way to apply the
case closure to it is to convert it back into a pattern, and then apply
that pattern to a new USet with the appropriate options. That seems
rather circuitous.

What Mark (I think) and I are saying is that it would be useful to be
able to apply the appropriate closures to an existing *set*. I know
it's already possible if you have the *pattern*.
