Cheers, Cliff I think it means lambda will be spelled λ.

Cheers,

Well as far as the unicode stuff is concerned, the standard library will continue to use ASCII only, but it does mean that there could be certain modules that used unicode symbols for all of their identifiers. But I don't think that it's that big of a deal since people could already write modules with nonsensical ASCII identifier names! But we'll have to way to see what happens with it!

I still thought is was going :D The __traceback__ in exceptions is a good move, even a bit of a "duh". I'm only not sure about the point of identifiers with any unicode characters. Does this mean that some Chinese developers code write modules I need to import, where I can't even distinguish (at first glance) different functions? Or did I misunderstand that? I hate it already when people use non-english identifiers, or even comments. And English is not my first language btw. lambda lives! I still thought is was going :D
