Re: [SG16] C++ Identifier Syntax using Unicode Standard Annex 31

Module names are, I believe, a superset of identifiers, where '.' is
allowed between the parts that correspond to the identifier fragment.

I will add details. That header file names are not identifiers is an
interesting compatibility issue.

As currently proposed, I am restricting syntax elements to the basic source
character set. That might make sense for headers (not header files), but
expressing that constraint might be complicated. I doubt anyone will insist
on a header with characters outside the basic set soon.
