+1 IMHO language identifiers should be limited to ASCII. Yes you can now
use language specific chars by changing the locale, so that , Ä, ÿ are
taken, but that hardly makes for portable code.
What do you mean? Why wouldn't it be portable? Because you can't read
it? It will still run. Limiting identifiers to ASCII is an artificial
limitation as far as I am concerned. I see no reason for it. It's not
as if people are going to suddenly write code for distribution with all
sorts of weird unicode identifiers. We support high-ascii today and you
never see those in public code. Java has had unicode identifiers
forever as well, and it doesn't seem to be a problem for them.
For people writing localized code it is very nice to be able to use
descriptive identifiers in their own character set. It makes it much
easier to understand the code for them.
