auto x²; //fails to compile: char 0x00b2 not allowed in identifier,

Same for ⅀, ∫ and etc.

Math symbols could have a great use compare to just characters from
other languages (who does code in Greek or Chinese?). Still, this
function name in russian cause compile error: 2.вквадрате (вквадрате(2))
According to the specification D doesn't necessarly support unicode
identifiers:
"Identifiers start with a letter, _, or universal alpha, and are
followed by any number of letters, _, digits, or universal alphas.
Universal alphas are as defined in ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E) Appendix D.
(This is the C99 Standard.) Identifiers can be arbitrarily long, and are
case sensitive. Identifiers starting with __ (two underscores) are
reserved."
