I personally believe that the set of characters available to programming languages will extend beyond us-ascii sooner or later.

That is not true. $ will have a special meaning only inside string literals. It can be put into string literals already, so the lexical rules don't change at all with that change. > Is it time to reserve a character to the user, or > at least to reserve some in certain contexts? I don't think so. People who desire to put additional stuff into Python files should use Python comments. Indeed, #! already has a special meaning on some systems. Regards, Martin
