Cosmopolitan Identifiers
I propose a simple Unicode-based lexical syntax for programming language identifiers using characters from international scripts (currently Latin, Greek and Cyrillic). What makes such cosmopolitan identifiers special is that each identifier is either equivalent to a uniquely determined simple identifier consisting only of ASCII characters, or that the identifier is a symbolic identifier. This makes collaboration in an international setting easier, especially in contexts where such identifiers are not only used by professional programmers, but are also present in the domain of normal users, for example through scriptable applications.
