That's a very large jump for D, and I don't know if it will ever do it. But some languages have already done such scary jump, look at Fortress. Fortress code can be written both in unicode and ASCII, the ASCII code looks longer:

I am sure D may learn some things from Fortress, but I think adding just one or two unicode symbols to D isn't good. If you want to accept unicode, then you want more.
