Hmmm... good point. I thought too simple.

1) We want to enable unicode unconditionally whereever that is possible 
without much impact.
2) If that pulls in large libraries like icu, a useflag remains useful.

So maybe instead of any use.forcing we should just go through the ebuilds and 

a) reduce the number of occurences of IUSE=unicode as much as possible
b) switch to IUSE=icu or similar where that makes sense
