It is not intuitive. One thing I learned from the discussion here about Unicode identifiers in other languages is that, though this support exists in several other languages, it is *different* in each of them. And PEP 3131 is different still. They allow different sets of characters, and even worse, use different normalization rules. Can you keep straight which letters are allowed in Java, Javascript, C#, Python? What about two identifiers which refer to the same variable in some languages but refer to different variables in others? How do we know that PEP 3131's answer is the right answer and all these other languages chose the wrong answer? This is far from simple. -- ?!ng
