+// TODO: currently, we are almost encoding-agnostic (strings just need to be
+// ASCII-compatible).  We should at least have an option to enforce a specific
+// encoding, such as UTF-8.  Note that with Unicode we should not allow all
+// character clasess and exclude the likes of \pM with the goal of enforcing
+// NFC-normalized identifiers--utf8proc is a good candidate library to handle
+// the categorization and validation.
