Initially I was on -1 but from this thread it seems that many closed (or semi-closed) environments would benefit from such a change. I'm still concerned though about the segregation this feature encourages. In my (admittedly limited) experience on non-english-speaking environments, everyone used to have some basic command of english and was encouraged to use proper english identifiers; OTOH, the hodgepodge of english keywords/stdlib/3rd party symbols with transliterated to ascii application identifiers was being looked down as clumsy and in fact less readable.
