[swift-evolution] [Proposal] Normalize Unicode Identifiers

[João Pinheiro]

I'll wait until next week to ping about this again when the stress from Swift 3 has passed. I'll also revise the proposal to clarify about the small code-breaking possibility. As Xiaodi Wu mentioned, this change is highly unlikely to be code-breaking and existing code that would be broken up by this normalisation could arguably be considered broken already.

Sincerely,
João Pinheiro

I hope it's still on time for inclusion in Swift 3.
