If comments are allowed to be none English, then why are identifier not?
This is inconsistent because there is a correlation between identifier
and comment.
The best identifier is one that needs no comment, because it
self-describes it's content. None English identifiers enhance the
meaning of identifiers for some projects. So why forbid them? We are all
adults.
