It is a serious suggestion. Our editors are flexible enough to allow us to use control keys to generate these characters. Our ethnocentric, ASCII limited view of programming languages would benefit from more flexibility when it increases readability.

But if it's a serious recommendation, then can some recommend where I can buy one of these European keyboards? On top of that, I could start a business selling European keyboards to Go programmers in Africa who want to use generics, where American keyboards (or keyboard with mostly ASCII characters) are common.

How hard would it be to release a beta which supports both [] and guillamets? We try them. We see where we have compatibility problems. We give editor writers and plugin writers a chance to simplify they keystrokes?
