As a case in point, I just opened up revNavigator from the plugins menu -

revNavigator still works perfectly, displaying precisely what you would

stack.
Ha, way to hit me where I live :-) Are developers really naming objects
with unicode-only names? Why? It's not like "repeat" or "filter" are
localized, so how much of a benefit is it really that variable names and
object names can be in cyrillic?
Well, it may be that your work goes a lot more smoothly if you can give your
variables and objects names that are relatively easy to remember because
they are
in your native language.
I don't know what you call your variables and objects, but I always give
them names
that make sense to me and have some sort of connexion to their function:
flds such
as "OOT", "DOONBY", "BIGGIN", "BYRE" mak a heil puckle o sense tae ma
mind mair
than Sudron yins, as well as aa those that aiblins hae nummers: yin,
twa, three, fower,

The unconscious arrogance of the English-speaking world never ceases to
amaze me.
It might not be a bad idea to meditate on the fact that an awful lot of
people conduct
their daily lives using non-latinate writing systems.
