I want to use unicode varible names, i. e. non-english letters in variable 
names.
This will work fine in python 1.6 if I define them at runtime, using 
mainpulations of the __dict__ dictionary, Where the names are strings.

Qestions:
	1) Will future python accept unicode variables in source code?

	2) It seems like a very easily implemented, natural and 		desireable 
adjustment, is it?

    	3) Or is it so that the current implemntation of namespaces 		does 
allow sting names of variables and that would possibly 		disappear in 
another implemntation?

	4) Is it desireable to allow unicode variable names in 			sourcecode, like 
in Java. Is it desireable for JPython?


I am thankful for ansvers/comments!
