Re: How do you feel about utf-8 in ruby code?

Hello,

   In the safestruct [1] library / gem I'm using unicode (utf-8)
identifiers for typesafe class constants. For example:

    Instead of this "generated" name:
Hash_Address_x_Hash_Address_x_Game for a nested Hash with a Hash of
Game structs the library uses:

     Hash‹Address→Hash‹Address→Game››

    And yes, that's a valid class constant! Here's another "real
world" example with arrays:

     Instead of "classic" Array_Array_Integer_x3 the library uses:

       Array‹Array‹Integer››×3

     Conclusion:  Yes, unicode (utf-8) identifiers rock!

     Cheers. Prost.

PS: Try this - yes, it works:

     pp Hash‹Address→Hash‹Address→Game››
     pp Hash‹Address→Hash‹Address→Game››.new

     pp Array‹Array‹Integer››×3
     pp Array‹Array‹Integer››×3.new

     and so on
