Unicode...
Another day, another rant... It's quite hard to write non-Unicode programs in C#/.NET but some people do it on purpose, apparently:

Quote: "Unicode: Prof-It can only scan C#-files whose identifiers don't include Unicode. Only a..z, A..Z and '_' are allowed for identifiers. Unfortunately, C# allows all Unicode signs as identifiers. This would bloat the scanner of Prof-It dramatically. Therefore, Prof-It now only allows the German signs 'Ä', 'ä', 'Ö', 'ö', 'Ü', 'ü' and 'ß' in addition to a..z, A..Z and '_'."
Now... What The Fuck?!
"Unfortunately, C# allows all Unicode..." - erm, what's so unfortunate about this?
"This would bloat the scanner of Prof-It dramatically" - o.O jawdrop HOW? The "string" class is already unicode; how on earth is anything saved by not supporting other characters?...
"Therefore, Prof-It now only allows the German signs" - lol now this is just too good! :) I know, my next program will selectively filter out all German characters as a revenge!
