After the concept of such attacks had blow up idk. 1?2?3? years ago a lot of places now warn at least when mixing "languages"/ranges or sometimes on any usage of non us-ascii printable characters.

So stuff like that is increasingly more reliable caught.

Including by 3rd parties doing any ad-hoc scanning.

Through adding `compiles check` fail with syntax errors definitely should be added tot he list of auto scan checks, at least in C/C++ (it's not something you would do in most languages tbh. even in C it seems to be an antipatters).
