Re: Introducing a dedicated unicode mode in Vim

Hi folks, I was thinking about the following idea.

As Rust introduced usage of non-ascii characters as identifiers
< https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/06/17/Rust-1.53.0.html#unicode-identifiers >,
I wanted to know that will it be interesting to add a dedicated support
for typing unicode characters in Vim? Like we have insert and replace
modes, will it be useful to have a "unicode-mode" which when activated
can enable a typist to type in unicodes at ease and allow them to type
those characters continuously? Current implementations of using <C-v> for
unicodes and <C-k> for digraphs become tedious for typing continually.

Of course, people will use this mode while writing various documents as
well, and it will not merely be specific to rust devs.

What do you folks think about this?
