Greek authorship.  What would you make of

    bf'{junban + 1}'

and why is that better than

    bf'{順番 + 1}'

?  (I would guess that is a sort of Japanese approximation to your
Greek.)

I think it was Alex Martelli who argued very strongly at the time of
PEP 263 that using native identifiers and even comments in your native
language is a very risky practice (at least from management's POV
<wink/>).  I think that's still true, but it's clearly in consenting
adults territory.
