Never seen (or used) preprocessor expressions myself in type names, but wouldn't be surprised to see them used. I only use alphanumeric characters in class names. |

Is anyone doing this?
This question relates to what the highlighting grammar should support, not trying to start a flame war on naming conventions.
I have a vague memory from many moons ago that there were samples provided by Progress which used preprocessors in the class names, and wasn't sure if that was adopted by m/any people.
Somewhat relatedly, is anyone using "weird" characters in type name? The Progress doc usually (eg https://docs.progress.com/bundle/abl-reference/page/USING-statement.html) says "The value of object-type-name is restricted to alphanumeric characters plus the symbols #, $, %, and _." but in its Name Limits doc says that anything that is supported by the OS goes.
I've definitely seen dashes in the wild, but am also curious about other characters.
