How bad does it make the parser look if we allow trailing + in variable names, by escaping them? It's seemingly the substantive objection at this point.
Any escape character is also a legal name character.
I am struggling to have a non-meme reaction to this. Perhaps the best step is just earlier on in the series note that variable names need to fit within the broadly and commonly used set of characters and assorted funny business you can do historically needs to be migrated.
