Description

Feature or enhancement

PyPy has a new algorithm that might help us reduce the unicode name db size of our binaries (which would be helpful on our way forward to better WASM compatibility [through reduced download sizes]). For more details, you can see the new implementation in PyPy side by @cfbolz.

We'll probably start with missing tests, and then build out a prototype to see how feasible it is and will share numbers on how much it would help before going forward with the implementation.
