error: could not compile `playground` (bin "playground") due to previous error

That’s a well designed compiler.

I would rather see it just added to the standard definition as a valid character, so the compilation passes without issues. It would make lives of Greek programmers a little bit easier!

But on a second though, it would probably make the lives of compiler programmers a living hell. Having to deal with two symbols for one thing sounds really annoying :D

Pretty sure Cargo can automatically fix the error.
