Will the new feature allow more useful code to be written, or will it cause unnecessary duplication of effort. Probably both, but I cannot tell in which proportions, an neither can you, I guess.
I think helps a lot in this regard if developpers make a conscious choice as to whether they use non-ASCII identifiers or not in a given project (as opposed to just using the feature because it is there). Thus they will only use them when they really feel the need. Having the feature disabled by default is a way to make sure people take some time to think about it. However, maybe it s not absolutely necessary and a prominent explanation in the various documentations is sufficient? I'm not 100% sure one way or the other.
