Same problem with ASCII and some fonts: javascript:var l = 1; I = 2; alert(l); (Gill Sans comes to my mind, but probably no one uses that for programming.) AI05-0227-1 is relevant in this context because it shows the difficulties that come with non-ASCII identifiers in some contexts: <http://www.ada-auth.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ai05s/ai05-0227-1.txt?rev=HEAD> To my knowledge, no Ada implementation makes a decent attempt at getting this right. There does not seem to be much commercial demand, so compiler vendors have different priorities. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
