Adjacent different scripts in general is probably a reasonable token

So you would like to ban identifiers that contain both
letters and digits for those who happen to speak languages
whose letters are RTL? I must protest.
Mmmm, more specification needed. Add "letter" to the constraint.

As to your assertion of discrimination against Greek: my point was
that mathematical notation *already* discriminates against speakers of
Greek by appropriating their alphabet for its own purposes, so if you
want to enable a mathematical-notation language mode it's already
difficult to support a Greek localization. (I do wonder how modern
Greek mathematicians deal with this....)
