This could easily be solved by tool support instead of yet another switch (and in effect language variant). That is, pylint, pychecker or even a svn pre-commit hook could report on code that doesn't use the character range that is valid according the coding conventions for the project. I'm +0.5 on adding Unicode identifier support because it would allow me to use accented characters in localized code whenever appropriate.
