> In my ideal world the syntax would evolve so you could constrain the categories -- "\p{Pd except '-'}", "any character that is some kind of dash except for U+002D "hyphen-minus", for example -- since that would make this even more useful for functions that take regular expressions such as tokenize().

XPath regular expressions allow a subtraction operator within a character class:

[\p{Lu}-[IO]]

allows any upper case letter except I or O.
