        Well, D *does* support non-English identifiers, y'know... for example:

                 void main(string[] args) {
                         int число = 1;
                         foreach (и; 0..100)
                                 число += и;
                         writeln(число);
                 }

        Of course, whether that's a good practice is a different story. :)


    I've recently come to the opinion that that's a bad idea, and D should not
    support it.


Why? You said previously that you'd love to support extended operators ;)

Extended operators, yes. Non-ascii identifiers, no.
