Is this a Unicode Consortium standard, or a 3rd party project? The
website wasn't completely clear on the matter, but there's nothing I
could find on the Unicode website about translations of the standard
name (there's also nothing that specifically explains the choice to
use English for the standard names...). If it's not part of the
standard, then there's an argument that the Python implementation of
this should also be a 3rd party package, rather than being in the
stdlib. Is this feature available on PyPI at the moment?
Also, would this not lead to non-English speakers expecting that the
localised names would work in "\N{...}" notation?
