This got me curious what I'd read about domain names and visual normalization of Unicode, and found this: http://www.unicode.org/Public/security/revision-05/confusabl...

It might be useful for editors and compilers to check for tricky Unicode (lookalikes for common characters, atypical changes in direction, invisible spaces or other formatting control codes, etc.) in this era of copy/paste coding.

I believe Rust will warn you if your non-ASCII identifiers are potentially confusing based on this list.
