Will this need full ICU in Node.js even for the 'en' locale?

[vsemozhetbyt]

With the last v8-canary build on Windows 7 x64 (full-icu@1.2.1, icu4c-data@0.63.2):

'use strict';

console.log(Intl.Segmenter);
console.log(new Intl.Segmenter('en', {granularity: 'word'}));

With full ICU (node --icu-data-dir=.\node_modules\full-icu --harmony test.js):

[Function: Segmenter]
Segmenter [Intl.Segmenter] {}

Without full ICU (node --harmony test.js):

[Function: Segmenter]

Thanks for the bug report! It will be important for V8 to get this right to be usable in some Node.js configurations. cc @gsathya @FrankYFTang . Please file these issues in V8's bug tracker in the future, however.

Please file a bug on V8's bug tracker. (I wonder if this is an ICU bug, though)

I've already reported in the tracking issue: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=6891#c14
Should I open a separate issue?
