Hi!
I hope that you did not misread my words/sentences.
Your example if perfect to illustrate the reason why I don't want
international characters in the language itself (and identifiers).
Yes, that was my understanding.
You gave reasons why it would be a bad idea. I added a reason, that I
think would make the idea even worse.
In other words, I supported the current a-z0-1_ set.
I did a quick test in Delphi:
program doti;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
Var
i: Integer; // lowercase dotted i in turkish
begin
for İ :=0 to 10 do // uppercase dotted I in turkish
writeln(i);
end.
Results in
[dcc32 Error] doti.dpr(9): E2003 Undeclared identifier: 'İ'
Same for German:
program doti;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
Var
ẞ: Integer;
begin
for ß :=0 to 10 do
writeln(ß);
end.
[dcc32 Error] doti.dpr(9): E2003 Undeclared identifier: 'ß'
So indeed, case-insensitivity is lost. Even in German.
