Yes. But I think supporting non-ASCII characters is also not easy,
and the main reason we still don't use Gnulib's regexp code in Emacs.
Another worthy goal, if we are talking about this, is to support more
of the Unicode Regular Expressions, at least at the functional level,
if not syntactically. See https://unicode.org/reports/tr18/ for the
details.
