I think the biggest argument against this PEP is how little similar
features are used in other languages and how poorly they are supported
by third party utilities.  Your PEP gives very little thought to how
the change would affect the standard Python library.  Are non-ASCII
identifiers going to be poorly supported in Python's own library and
utilities?
