If no one is afraid of ambiguity of identifiers, it will cause
errors sooner or later. Stupid errors. Pardon my French.

The readability of a program's source text obviously should not
depend on the choice of font if that font alone makes ambiguity
disappear. This kind of witchcraft is good for producing
nightmares for the programmers who need to fix the program.

What do the Unicode data not not suggest? There is not three nots in
the preceding sentence.
