There is of course a reason why practically no type checker does this: for this to make sense, you'll need a type system that can essentially represent the full domain...

Nothing prevents a proposal champion from modifying this file in their fork, as long as they undo that in the final merge PR. Hence I'm with @tlively, I don't think...

This seems fine, as long as there is no expectation that we are getting into any of the Unicode messes surrounding normalisation etc., i.e., for determining id equality, we are...

PS: Also, a reminder that Unicode spoofing has become a real security concern. Allowing completely arbitrary Unicode strings in something as central and sensitive as identifiers is elevating that risk....
