“Language P has a mechanism by which it conflates several different glyphs into a canonical form for the sake of variable names” is not an “actually not true” kind of exception.
A mathematician such as yourself (and myself too) should recognise that asserting different things to be functionally equal is an entirely distinct phenomenon from what is being discussed here, which is differentiating a unique glyph based on a formatting that (font).
- mkl 6y agoThis bit is the incorrect bit: "a computer would never be confused into think they’re even remotely similar". Python is treating different glyphs as if they're the same but formatted differently.
