I don't think just /i should do that, as it seems rather extreme. (If you
took that argument, it would seem to follow that KATAKANA LETTER A matches
LATIN CAPITAL A, and I don't think we want to go there) The actual
perl-level modifier's not all that important as much as the decision to
allow or not allow this sort of thing.
