What about having J names allow UTF8 characters instead of being limited to
ASCII characters? I can see one problem with that is that many UTF8
characters look the same. This could cause confusion when two names look
identical on the screen but are unique UTF8 codes. But it seems it would be
easy to change the J interpreter to accept UTF8 characters for names.
