IDN with Gemini?

[colecmac at protonmail.com]

So far Python, Go, and Java libs have been mentioned as sort
of working with IRI.

It's cool the Python and Go ones seem to work, but I wouldn't
trust them, because they aren't intended to support IRIs. The
term IRI appears nowhere in either of their docs, and so there
could easily be subtle bugs. The Java one is literally called
URI, and as Gary Johnson explained, it has issues.

However, these issues are all irrelevant in the face two things:

- This is the IDN thread, there's a separate thread for IRI :)
- IRIs would be a breaking change to Gemini, which is not
   feasible or a good idea.
