Walter was doing that thing that people in the US who only

other languages, and that people who speak English can learn

characters in identifiers and that nobody does use them in
practice.
There's a more charitable view and that's that even furriners
usually use English identifiers.
Nobody in this thread so far has said they are programming in
non-ASCII.
If there was a contingent of Japanese or Chinese users doing that
then surely they would speak up here or in Bugzilla to advocate
for this feature?
