"The East Asian symbol for *ten* looks like a plus sign, so ``十= 10`` is a 
complete Python statement."

Normally, an identifier must begin with a letter, and numbers can only be used 
in the second and subsequent positions.  (XID_CONTINUE instead of XID_START)  
The fact that some characters with numeric values are considered letters (in 
this case, category Lo, Other Letters) is a different problem than just looking 
visually confusable with "+", and it should probably be listed on its own.
