Methods indeed should work fine, because currently all non-ASCII characters are lumped together as lower-case. But I don't think constants work fine; it may only look so.

Please try e.g.
```
ruby -e 'Мир = 55; Мир = 77'
```

You should get a warning saying the the constant was already initialized. I don't get such a warning, which means that `Мир` here is treated as a variable, not as a constant.

Can't create a valid Cyrillic-named class. If I have a file **мир.rb**:

~~~ ruby
# Content of мир.rb:

class Мир

  def приветствовать
    "Привет, Мир!"
  end

end
~~~

and do in **bash**:

~~~
ruby мир.rb
~~~

I get the error (**SyntaxError**):

~~~
мир.rb:1: class/module name must be CONSTANT
~~~

Same error with module creating and same behavior in **irb** (please, see attachment). At the same time Cyrillic-named constants and methods work fine.

It is expected that creating Cyrillic-named class/modules should work without error.
