This is proposed for Haskell'.
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/UnicodeInHaskellSource
says: "The report should at least be absolutely clear about which
Unicode character properties (N, Ll, Lu, Sm, etc.) correspond to which
lexical class in the syntax." I don't know if there's any difference
in how current Haskell compilers handle this.
