Is char in unicode class?

Question

In .Net, given a char, is there a way to tell if that character is part of a specific Unicode category? The categories I'm interested are defined here http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/category/index.htm

For example, is there a function that does anything like this?:

bool isCharInClass(Char c, String class)

that could be called like:

SomeClass.isCharInClass("a", "Lo");

You can use Char.GetUnicodeCategory or CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory to get the unicode category (as a UnicodeCategory).
