  Technically UTF-8-encoded (non-ASCII) characters in identifier names
shouldn't be a problem because the encoding has been specifically
designed so that they won't (iow. no byte in a multi-byte character
will be a control character, a space, etc. if interpreted in ASCII).
It's just a question of the parser allowing for them.
