Twitter support unicode hash tag. Do you plan supporting this?

Hello, thanks for the example. Hashtags already have some unicode support (see e.g. test_hashtag_umlaut in tests.py), extending them to start with unicode characters probably isn't that hard. I'd be happy to see a Pull Request if you wanted to have a go?
Note that I've also added an enhancement ticket that the twitter conformance tests should be integrated, this would likely show up other areas where this library is lacking/outdated:

Cheers, Ian.
