Hi Elias,this is quite feasible technically. What I don't like, though is the incompatibility
that it creates for the source code. Suppose I write a function Z←AؠB. Who else except myself can decipher what it is supposed to mean? I strongly believe that restriction names to almost only ASCII letters (and writing the names in English) is a very good convention that we should not easily give up. /// Jürgen On 03/17/2016 03:20 PM, Elias Mårtenson wrote:
