unless you have to process the source code
Mathematical symbols might be a legitimate case, since they are
generally pronounceable. Otherwise, special characters cause problems
both in entry from the keyboard and thinking about the code. (What
does it sound like if you describe it to yourself? foo.heart?)

@Parrot Raiser and @Luca. I will make sure to add Texan alternatives in

I use triangle symbols to make internal symmetries in the code visible,
and I have no problem pronouning or typing them.
The code is substantially more readable with them. The same is true
Heart doesn't work for me, but other symbols seem fine. I don't know why. I

If we don't want to get the "line noise" libel all over again, there
are some features of the language that should probably go unmentioned
for a while. The ability to use non-ASCII characters in names may be
perfectly justifiable. When the cognoscenti have produced enough

Hi Marcel,
Not that I know of.
With regard to your original question. NativeCall has nativecast (as above)
for casting and a CUnion representation for unions. There are some tests in
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/t/04-nativecall/13-union.t for
this.
NativeCall is letting you get pretty
