Suppose there is already a Gmail user choosing the username (hence email address) as "abcdxyz2015", is it true that Gmail will disallow new users from choosing the username as "abcdxyz2o15" (notice the number '0' and the letter 'o')? If so, does this apply to "1" and "l" as well?

As far as I can tell, Google doesn't allow l to be interchanged with a 1, and an 0 to be interchanged with an o.
This doesn't seem to apply with all leet speak. An A can be interchanged with a 4 and so forth.
