I can't see why not.  There may be some need to modify texi2any more
generally (for example for upper casing, for locale dependent index keys
sorting, maybe for line breaking in Info output).  There may be some
trouble with presentation of index split by letter too.

I do not think that it matters in texi2any (and for perl character
strings more generally).
