If it is not a 10646 character classification, it isn't practical to use in
Ada (or any other programming language). Attempting to invent our own
classifications would be a recurring nightmare as new characters are added
to the character sets.
The Unicode people have spent a lot of effort thinking about the issues of
extended characters in identifiers, and it makes the most sense to build on
their work rather than inventing some of our own. After all, they're the
character experts, not us.
Randy.
