It's probably also a great way to introduce almost undetectable security vulnerabilities by using Unicode characters that look similar to each other but in fact are different.

This would cause your compilation to fail, unless you were deliberately declaring and using near identical symbols. Which would violate the whole "Code is meant to be easily read by humans" thing.

Yes, that would probably be one way to do it.

I'd think someone who's deliberately and sneakily introducing a security vulnerability would want it to be undetectable, rather than easily readable.
