However, is there no way to restrict identifiers at least to the alphabets of natural languages? Maybe it wouldn’t help much, but does anyone need to use letter-like symbols designed for math expressions? I would say maybe, but certainly not have them auto-converted to the "normal" letter? For that matter, why have any auto-conversion all? The answer may be that it’s too late to change now, but I don’t think I’ve seen a compelling (or any?) use case for that conversion. -CHB Particular thanks to Stephen J.
