Unbox has code to allow unicode identifiers in J, with the following rules:
- All code must be UTF-8. Invalid UTF-8 causes a spelling error. - Any non-ASCII character is treated as alphabetic. Identifiers can use these characters freely. This is completely backwards-compatible with existing J, and allows us to use things like greek characters and code in other languages: π |value error: π π =: 1p1 π 3.14159 π_1 |value error: π_1 What do people think about this? Should it be added to jsource? Should the rules be changed for some characters?
