Changes (by simonmar):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => fixed

Comment:

 I did as Ross suggested and made the "Letter, Other" class behave as
 lower-case.

   * Treat the Unicode "Letter, Other" class as lowercase letters (#1103)
   This is an arbitrary choice, but it's strictly more useful than the
   current situation, where these characters cannot be used in
   identifiers at all.

   In Haskell' we may revisit this decision (it's on my list of things to
   discuss), but for now this is an improvement for those using caseless
   languages.
