Hi!

I would suggest just not doing it. The need for unicode identifiers is
not that great. I know, English is not the only language on Earth, but I
can survive without naming my functions in Russian or Hebrew. And the
amount of complexity that would remove from the engine IMO would be
substantial (think of normalization alone...). Unless we find some magic
library that automatically solves it - in which I don't really believe -
I'd rather keep engine identifiers simple.
