On another note, I've always dreamt about a language where keywords are i18n'd. Every keyword has an equivalent in every language (well, up to the languages currently supported, of course), and can be used interchangeably. Support for Arabic and Hebrew would be tricky because of the right-to-left thing, but cool if it can be pulled off. Even cooler would be to support top-to-bottom, right-to-left for traditional Chinese writing. Don't know how it would interoperate with code written in English, though. :-P (Though it would mainly be a display issue, since at the Unicode level everything is just an unambiguous sequence of characters.)

If you just stood there and yelled BANG, I don't think you'd kill too many people. -- Eddie Izzard, Dressed to Kill
