No. I did originally write "capabale", but then I realized I was wrong.
As I wrote it's perfectly possible to do it with a Vadim-set, but as
with Unicode, Latin-1 or any other set you have to tell the application
how to sort the data, so the benefits Vadim claims his ideas to have
are lost. (While the drawbacks remain.)
