Feature: True Unicode Support #4

@peterchen-cp

Description

@peterchen-cp

currently, all non-ascii chars are identified as part-of-token. this is sufficient for many scenarios.

True unicode support would bring:

  • equality / inequality comparison of filters would apply normalization
  • "noCase" comparison would consider locale-specific rules for letter case

True unicode support would also mean the following, which I don't see as valuable features at all:

  • we could identify unicode punctuation as such, and it would not be a part of an unquoted token
    (this would probably be the most expensive change with the least benefit... but I'd provice
    a less-surprising consistency)
  • non-ascii based numeric indices.
