Feature: public function with preformatted unicode data (for external fuzzy finder provider)

[Grueslayer]

Hi,

as this plugin

• only supports fzf.vim
• invisible chars (like control codes in the lower ascii range) needs different output (as in the UnicodeTable)
• additional infos like html tags would be welcome
• the chosen console colour code does not match my liking

I need access to some internal functions / variables or have a new public function like

fu! unicode#FuzzySource() abort "{{{2
    if !filereadable(s:data_cache_file) | exe 'UnicodeCache' | endif
    if !filereadable(s:data_cache_file)
        let s:fuzzy_source = []
        return s:WarningMsg('Failed to create the cache file')
    endif
    exe 'source ' . s:data_cache_file

    let l:fuzzydict = {}
    for [value,name] in items(g:unicode#unicode#data)
        let value  += 0
        let l:fuzzydict[value] = {
        \    'dec': value,
        \    'char': strtrans(nr2char(value)),
        \    'dig': <sid>GetDigraphChars(value),
        \    'html': <sid>GetHtmlEntity(value, 0),
        \    'codep': printf('U+%04X', value),
        \    'name': g:unicode#unicode#data[value] 
        \}
    endfor
    return l:fuzzydict
endfu

what do you think, should I make a PR for it?
