Well, should specs be encouraged to write IDL using non-ASCII characters? I guess maybe it could be useful in comments (though keep in mind the existance of <https://trojansource.codes>/[CVE-2021-42574](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-42574), even if malicious spec authors would normally be sabotaging our semantics, not our IDL), but surely we want string literals to use escapes rather than non-ASCII text? (What do you mean, there *are* no escape sequences?)
