How about allowing ¬, (ASCII 172, U+00ac, NOT sign), in variable names as in my¬variable - it has the advantages that:
There is NO such character in ASCII. ASCII is a 7 bit character set, and no ASCII code has a value bigger than 127.
There are a number of Extended ASCII character sets (hundreds if not thousands). One common one is ISO 8859-1 also called ISO LATIN-1 which has this character at this location, but Extended ASCII is NOT ASCII (Note, it is even produced by a very different standards body). The character also occurs here in ANSI Extended ASCII, but again, this is NOT ASCII.
