Agreed, there is no easy way to designate such a huge list of
non-ascii characters. Even if we figure out one way, the user may
still be scared by such a huge list or the character class syntax.

I think doing this complex both the implementation and the representation.

Instead, if using non word characters, the user only needs specify a
small list of characters (ascii or wide character). instead of the
nearly whole set.
