Do we really want to support unicode for functions, classes, methods and variables names?

    No. I don't need unicode at all, but if I ever would need it,
    it would be enough if I can store it in variables.

    (which I can do already, without any fancy ICU)

I really like to have unicode for comments (// /* */) and inside quotes.

    Isn't that possible already? Even in PHP 4?

But having: <?php function unicode_ist_nicht_süß(){} function Unicode_ÿÿÿÿ_ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ() {} ?>

    Gesündheit.

is not something I like to see. For language constructs, I would really like to have only ASCII support...

+1.
