You expressed an idea that you would like to see implemented in
Python, and part of that idea was that people would be *obliged* to
write their code using non-ASCII keywords. If that were to be
implemented, it absolutely WOULD affect many people's lives. So if
you're saying that your idea was not meant to affect anyone else's
life, you are saying that you floated the idea fully intending for it
to be ignored, which makes me wonder why you posted it in the first
place.
