Are we sure this has enough utility to be worth adding? - it seems unlikely
that programmers are going to often have cause to explicitly opt-out of correct
unicode support (since little consideration usually seems to be given to this
topic), and as discussed previously, a mechanism to do so already exists if
they need it (RegExp("foo") will behave the same as the proposed /foo/U). If
we do add a 'U' flag, I'd worry that it may end up more commonly being used in
error when people intended to append a 'u'!
cheers,
G.
