Oh, I'd absolutely want to support non-ASCII text. If I have unicode
input, though, I unfortunately have to rely on
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex as 're' doesn't support matching on
character properties.
I keep hoping it'll replace "re", then we could do:
pattern = regex.compile(ru"^\p{Lu}\s&]+$")
where \p{property} matches against character properties in the unicode
database.

Um, no one said that. I was arguing that the *regular expression*
doesn't need to be responsible for validation.

No one said that either...
