[issue10952] Don't normalize module names to NFKC?

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

This proposal makes sense because it would make

import µTorrent

behave the same as

µTorrent = __import__('µTorrent')

However, I think this is a feature request and a language change because the current grammar is

import_stmt     ::=  "import" module ..
module          ::=  (identifier ".")* identifier

and in order to implement the proposed feature, "module" will have to become a separate AST node that won't be treated as identifier.
