In view of the acceptance of p2290 delimited escape sequences, I think allowing named universal escapes everywhere UCNs are now might make more sense than restricting them to just in literals? 
Agreed.
Likewise. I think we should just make them an alternate spelling of universal-character-name.

It would certainly be the simpler option.

FYI in clang this is twice the work because there are two code paths, but it's not a huge amount of work either.

I would not expect that capability to be used by anyone though.
