On the other hand, if we try to use non-ascii chracters in
i.e function names, it still doesn't work as expected.

-module(a).

åääää() -> 
	a.

Does indeed give a compile time error. Sadly enough we need to 
qoute the function name (which is an atom)

'åääää'() -> 
	a.

And now it get so ugly so that in my opinion it's better to stick
with ascii-chars in the source code.
