Unicode Support

This will require switching to a completely different lexer, as OCamllex cannot handle Unicode strings.
Alternatively, we can wait until the compiler is self-hosting, and then just build Unicode support in.

I say Unicode now or we'll never do it

I agree.
We're going to go with ulex.
I'll make a feature branch and start working on this immediately.

Changed.
The introduction of ppx hooks and compile-time AST rewriting make it so that we don't need to deal with the mess that is introducing ocamlp4.
sedlex is much cleaner, and will be what we use.
A feature branch has been made, and I'm actively working on.
