As a british citizen, I would like to promote my patriotism while I write code in jQuery - something that I do in my daily work life.

Please be inclusive of the Great British Pound.

I intend to create a babel plugin allowing the use of currency symbols as the first character in an identifier.

Any help, or input would be appreciated.

Is there a list of currency symbols somewhere?

Guide on babel plugin dev.

Ref. discussion on PR #3 about valid syntax.

As it stands, $ is the only currency symbol that is legal as the first character of an identifier.
See ECMAscript 2015 spec

This is outrages and we should write a proposition to allow all currency symbols as the first character in an identifier.

I have no idea how one writes propositions to the ES specification so any help is appreciated.

A babel plugin would be awesome, see separate issue #5 .

Should change the example code:
€('#greatBritain').mouseLeave(() => { console.log('Make the EU great again'); });

In Britain they still use british pound and don't think they will change anytime soon. :)
