Are Go identifiers meant to interoperate at the object code level with C and C++ code using the same identifiers (with UCNs, for non-ASCII identifiers in C and C++)? If so, this change would break such interoperation, since C and C++ use UTF-8 in the compiler output for such identifiers (and the tests are skipped/XFAILed for systems where the assembler doesn't support this). -- Joseph S.
