Just noticed a small thing in which python does a bit better than haskell:
$ ghci
let (fine, fine) = (1,2)

(1,2)
In case its not apparent, the fi in the first fine is a ligature.
Python just barfs:
Not Python 3:
Python 3.3.2+ (default, Feb 28 2014, 00:52:16)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(fine, fine) = (1,2)
(fine, fine)
(2, 2)
No copy-and-paste errors involved:
eval("\ufb01ne")

eval(b"fine".decode("ascii"))

Aah! Thanks Peter (and Ned and Michael) — 2-3 confusion — my bad.
I am confused about the tone however:
You think this
(fine, fine) = (1,2) # and no issue about it
is fine?
Can you be more explicit? It seems like you think it isn't fine. Why
not? What bothers you about it? Should there be an issue?
