Yeah, this couldn’t be more misguided. It would be the very definition of a boondoggle. The key point here is chunking. Mentally you can process the + as a plus sign. It’s been single concept. It’s association with addition probably means the reader can make useful inferences about what it does. Now consider the Greek letter ζ (zeta). For anyone unfamiliar with that it would be more than one chunk as you would probably try to remember the shape. Worse, you may have no idea how to input it. And to get any of this we’d have to deal with encodings. For what, exactly? And sure, not everyone is familiar with the Latin script that dominates ASCII but you have to pick something and for better or for worse English is the lingua franca of programming. And don’t even get me started on the insanity that is Unicode attempting to assign a code point to every symbol ever imagined and then extending that with compound code points and modifiers.
