Could someone take another look at my submitted bug regarding class names?

Hello Archie,

Thank you for your response.

Looks like I was misinforned. Thank you for showing the example.

Thank you very much for linking this. And I understand what you are saying.
If my solution is only applicable to ASCII-only classes, then it is not a
great response to the larger problem. And that's ignoring the fact that you
provided a very good solution that sidesteps the problem entirely.

Could you explain how the solution is backwards incompatible? I don't think
I understand.

I think I missed Jon's comment. Could you paste/link his comment here?

Thank you again for the help!
