Thanks! I wonder how come it’s disabled by default.

Yeah, thats a thing I do not understand as well. Elixir has very good unicode support, but having to remember to explicitely enable it for a regex everytime is a bit…

Because parsing unicode is muuuuuuch slower than parsing ascii in a few common cases, and if you know you don’t need direct unicode matching then there is no need.
