It's really useful that python 3 allows me to use some Unicode symbols (as specified in https://docs.python.org/3.4/reference/lexical_analysis.html#identifiers[1]), especially Greek symbols for mathematical programs. But when I write mathematical program with lots of indices I would like to use symbols from block "Superscripts and Subscripts" (as id_continue), for example:
⁴₂₍₎
I don't see any problems with allowing yet another subset of Unicode symbols. In Julia, for example, I can use them without problems.
