I agree with Srikanth re: the undesirability of internationalization in this
case. Using [a-zA-Z0-9] is also in line with most other link shortening
services, which have become ubiquitous. I think we can deploy as-is and revisit
the issue later if a specific project forms consensus around wanting an
internationalized redirector.

Brion far above voiced concern that shortlinks could be confused for
revision-ids. I don't think it's current issue but makes me wonder if we should
use /l/ instead of /r/.  

I also suppose we'll want to use a rewrite condition so the redirect only
applies to the wikis mentioned in comment 39?
