The only objection that comes to mind is that adding such support may
make some distinct identifiers visually indistinguishable.  IIRC the DNS
system has had this problem, leading to much phishing abuse.

I don't necessarily think that the objection is strong enough to reject
the idea -- programmers using non-ASCII symbols would be responsible for
the consequences of their character choice.
