Well, with Delphi 2009's Unicode support, the Delphi language now
supports Unicode too. Thus unit names, class names, property names,

Unicode is required throughout the Object Pascal language, and FPC
Compiler.

Is this desirable? What is the benefit of non ASCII Pascal identifiers
at the expense of performance and simplicity?

Perhaps it's an attempt to better interface with .NET, Java or ObjectiveC?

I don't think so as AFAIK all three don't support unicode characters in identifiers.
