Hi,

you're right, the name of those matching rules isn't clear, I'm french, so my 
work is focused on Latin characters, but may be this could be useful for 
other kind of characters, I don't know, that's why I choose to ignore all 
non-ascii characters instead of only latin's ones.

Do you think this could only work on latin characters ?

Thanks for your comment.

Alexandre.
