Hi,

if Lazarus had an option "Allow accented Latin characters and Umlauts in 
identifiers", then Cyrillic, Arabic and Chinese and other special 
national charcters and dotted characters like the Turkish "I." were not 
included ('Dotted' is not 'Accented').  So we could enjoy the benefits 
of this proposal without the drawbacks.
