[vhdl-200x] VHDL support for Unicode

Hi all,

I've asked in a number of places about the use of Unicode within VHDL and the consensus seems to me to be:

* Just having support for identifiers/comments is not of great value
* Having a Unicode string type would be much more valuable, but also a huge amount of work

I've collated some quotes and posted them on the Twiki here:

Cheers,
Martin
