Well, if we have a file with both the Latin and the Cyrillic patterns
in UTF-8, it's possible to make 8-bit TeX engines ignore the Cyrillic
ones by mapping all the relevant characters to an empty token list.
Then again, you also need to do that with digits (and the dot), since
otherwise you would have patterns consisting only of digits, and TeX
probably doesn't like that (that said, I haven't tested it). But it of
course seems cleaner to just maintain the two files separately.
