What's all this business about linkers that only support monofont
symbols?  When I name a variable "counter" in 10 point Helvetica,
the last thing I mean is "counter" in 14 point Courier.  Linkers
that fold fonts into a single stripped typewriter-like system
font should be abolished!  That's like not having font sensitivity
in the first place.  If this is what our programming environments
are going to be like, we might as well all go back to 8-bit ASCII!
