Yeah, glad you guys keep pushing forward. It’s getting tight in the language wars. Me, I’m mostly out. Couldn’t resist to chime in on “std.regex slow” thread though, especially the Unicode rant.

According to Wikipedia, all A's, including the Cyrillic one, derive from aleph through the Greek alpha. At a sufficiently high level of abstraction, they are the same character. We ought to assign a single code to all aleph derivatives. Using the ox head consistently as the glyph would also be a fantastic idea.
