I was musing at Pycon with others about how Go would handle identifiers in languages that don't have capital letters, such as Hebrew, given the fact that they use the case of the first letter to control identifier visibility. Their FAQ essentially punts on the issue (start your identifier with a letter that can be capitalized, e.g. X日本語) but says that this feature will likely stay. I guess it's Go's flavor of Python's whitespace rule. :) -Barry
