Does this support fancy symbols in bare identifiers? Even the huge reference page is blank on that, and the only working links to grammar are to the ANTLR websi

  Yes: quoted identifiers are represented using backticks (which do not then form part of the name), so: local `My Variable` = 42 Do you happen to have a link to the missing/blank reference page on this? EDIT: perhaps I misunderstood the question - if it's about whether you can use non-ASCII characters in identifiers without quoting, the answer is "sometimes": ``` local `abde` = 42 // Only works when quoted local `teʝ` = 42 // Works fine (as expected) local teʝ2 = 42. // Also works fine ``` It might be interesting to expand the docs to cover the precise rules here without having to resort to ANTLR grammar, as you say.

    Yes, I meant bare unquoted identifiers For example, does x² = 42 work? Or move↓?=true or some emoji I guess not given your first example (though it's not rendered here properly, looks like 4 ascii letters), which is rather unfortunate as configs could be more readable with symbolic names, https://pkl-lang.org/main/current/language-reference/index.html#grammar-definition https://pkl-lang.org/main/current/language-reference/index.h..., both links are broken. Another thing is that the doc page should have an additional pages with a single section/page view otherwise it's too hard to find a word in a single huge doc
