That ship has sailed:
// In many fonts the Greek letter 'Α', the Cyrillic letter 'А' and the
Latin letter 'A' are visually identical,
// as are the Latin letter 'a' and the Cyrillic letter 'а'
int Α = 0;
int А = 1;
int A = 2;
int a = 3;
int а = 4;

http://unicode.org/reports/tr36/ UNICODE
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS. The implementation costs for 36 are very high,
though.
