Hi all,
Two remarks:
1. Note that ℯ also doesn't really work. While you can assign to this
identifier, it actually gets normalized into a plain "e".
2. Unicode has a
Σ : GREEK CAPITAL LETTER SIGMA
and a
∑ : N-ARY SUMMATION
The first is a valid Python identifier, the second not.
Unfortunately, the second has the desired semantics...
