FWIW, being French, I don't remember hearing any programmer wish (s)he could use non-ASCII identifiers, in any programming language. But arguably translitteration is very straight-forward (although a bit lossless at times ;-)).
My canonical example is François Pinard, who keeps requesting it, saying that local people where surprised they couldn't use accented characters in Python.
Perhaps that's because he actually is Quebecian :-)
