Non-ascii identifiers have other possible uses. I'll repost the case that started this discussion on python-tutor (attached in case it doesn't display):
''' #!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
# Parameters α = 1 β = 0.1 γ = 1.5 δ = 0.075
# Initial conditions xₒ = 10 yₒ = 5 Zₒ = xₒ, yₒ

Those examples would be a lot more compelling if there was an acceptable way to input those characters. Maybe we could support some kind of input method that enabled LaTeX style math notation as used by scientists for writing equations in papers?
