I want to cythonize this Python 3 code:
def say_hello_to_λ(name):
print("Hello λ %s!" % name)
which fails:
cythoning src/main/cython/hellocython.pyx to src/main/cython/hellocython.cpp

I am not the only one with a desire to use unicode in my identifiers:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47462127/avoid-unrecognized-character-when-compiling-pyx-to-c-without-deleting-the-nord
And apparently certain Unicode characters are permitted in identifiers according to this https://stackoverflow.com/a/12693346/969122 since C11.
So I don't see a reason cython should not allow these characters.
