Updating D beyond Unicode 2.0

[Dukc]

When I make code that I expect to be only used around here, I 
generally write the code itself in english but comments in my own 
language. I agree that in general, it's better to stick with 
english in identifiers when the programming language and the 
standard library is English.

On the other hand, Unicode identifiers till have their value IMO. 
The quote above is one reason for that -if there is a very 
specialized codebase it may be just inpractical to letterize 
everything.

Another reason is that something may not have a good translation 
to English. If there is an enum type listing city names, it is 
IMO better to write them as normal, using Unicode. 
CityName.seinäjoki, not CityName.seinaejoki.
