Back in 2009 or so, I and a few others ran a Google-internal April Fool's prank based on this. We auto-generated a humongous pull request for the Chromium source code and sent it out for review by all the various source code "owners" (super reviewers) who would need to sign off. The change used the alternate encoding for curly and square brackets, claiming the original characters were inaccessible on an Icelandic keyboard layout (which is half true, and there were quite a few of us Icelanders around) and that therefore, to be inclusive, we would like to standardize on the alternative representation. Good fun, although I don't remember if a single one of the reviewers was fooled :)
