We use UTF-8 in comments like in people's names but I'm wondering if
it is okay to use it in actual code?
I'm doing a bit of cleaning up of DeskCalc and the code to detect π
(the greek letter pi) is a bit obtuse, and potentially incorrect.
Would be okay to use the UTF-8 character directly as in:
if (strcmp("π", token.string.String()) == 0)
// pi
It's certainly okay, even though I would use:
if (token.string == "π")
here.
Since Haiku is pure UTF-8, having that as a requirement isn't really too
much to ask.
