No need to attack a straw man. I don't think anyone claimed we
should be imitating APL. Note the alternatives to carefully
choosing a few characters from beyond ASCII: using long,
spelled-out identifiers; or using sequences of ASCII punctuation
characters. Each of these choices has the potential to make code
less readable in some occasions but will be more appropriate than
the other choices on other occasions; which is which would have
to be decided case by case. That is what design is all about.
