What about locale? In Lua, identifiers can be made of any letters (and digits) and what
is a letter is decided basing on locale. Will it be possible to use non-english or even
non-latin characters in scripts?
Note that Lua 5.2 removed the support for non-ASCII characters in
identifiers. I don't know whether Scribunto will allow non-ASCII
characters in identifiers currently, but it would be best to stick
with ASCII anyway.
Note this only applies to identifiers (e.g. variable names). Strings
and comments may contain literal UTF-8 characters without issue, and
the mw.ustring library is available to manipulate them.
