Hi,

I'm a long-term listener, but I have a suggestion regarding the uspoof function.

Changing the the word order and adding identifiers makes it clearer:
	uspoof_areIdentifiersConfusingUTF8

Or leaving behind the verb-object-adj order, use a statement.
	uspoof_identifiersAreConfusingUTF8

It would usually be used in a test right?

if (uspoof_identifiersAreConfusingUTF8(s1, s2)) {
  // stop
}
