there's been some discussion on this in the PR. Joseph's suggestion was
to follow the system compilers if this were done, and indeed they do
encode UTF-8 identifiers in some way which could either be
reverse-engineered or a spec obtained. However, given Iain's stance
towards UTF-8 identifiers in D, I very much doubt this is worth the
effort. Ultimately, it's his call, of course.
