₹Query (jQuery for India)

[Doches]

I get that this is an April 1st joke, but this bit actually hit home:

> We call it, “R-Query”. Since demonetisation and US presidential elections, we knew that ₹ is the future and we can’t rely on $ anymore.

In the same vein, Skala was announced yesterday: http://scala-lang.org/blog/2017/04/01/announcing-skala.html

One of the guys in our community actually fell for it.

You know it's going to happen somewhere.

Now I want €('p').addClass('euro-rules');

£.detach().delay().addBack()

€('greece, spain, portugal, france').hide();

This appears impossible. Identifiers can only start with Unicode letters, $, _, or Unicode escape sequences of the 3 previous listed items.

The way this library works is by taking the code as a string, replacing every instance of "₹('...')" with window['₹'](...) and evaluating the string.

Given the global currency composition of official foreign exchange reserves, you have little choice in the matter.
