A Bug By Any Other Name ...

[Tom Kermode]

Maybe the IDE is the best place to warn you of something like that.

You could have an IDE where you specify which language you're more
familiar with and then have it display warnings likely to be relevant
to you.  People could collaborate to add support for gradually more
niche languages.

Python could continue to work the way it was designed to and people
documenting python wouldn't have to worry about this kind of issue. :)
