Thanks for the replies!
What I've also done in the past to bypass Nim's naming rules - eg, where and
how you can use underscores, is to look for a utf8 unicode symbol that looks
almost exactly like what I want to use.
eg in a direct transliteration of some python code:
self._private = 123
Nim doesn't like the leading _ in _private, but I can search on a page like
this:
[http://csbruce.com/software/utf-8.html](http://csbruce.com/software/utf-8.html)
And then eg, use an identifier like this (for instance), which Nim is fine with:
self.⎯private = 123
Where ⎯ comes from the "u23A0" section.
So I could also - probably - as a horrible hack, use a replacement for the Q
symbol, eg:
const ԚUIT_SDL = ...
where the "Q" symbol comes from the "u0500" section.
...
If the symbols are too close/confusing for typing out later, I can also use
alternative symbols, for eg naming like this:
const ԾUIT_SDL = ...
Pretty awful hack though .
