Scary as hell, too. http://ayende.com/3145/fun-with-dsl-didja-know-the-clr-allows-it#comment15http://ayende.com/3145/fun-with-dsl-didja-know-the-clr-allows-it#comment15Sat, 16 Feb 2008 13:01:42 GMTYou can also call it by C# code, just use something like administrators\u0020can\u0020always\u0020login. C# allows unicode escapes in identifier names. See the language specification ECMA-334, section 9.4.2 Identifiers. This is a valid example from this section: class @class { public static void @static(bool @bool) { if (@bool) System.Console.WriteLine("true"); else System.Console.WriteLine("false"); } } class Class1 { static void M() { cl\u0061ss.st\u0061tic(true); } } http://ayende.com/3145/fun-with-dsl-didja-know-the-clr-allows-it#comment14http://ayende.com/3145/fun-with-dsl-didja-know-the-clr-allows-it#comment14Sat, 16 Feb 2008 12:58:15 GMTNot really, no.
