Re: [SG16] D1949R4 - Unicode Identifiers

I mentioned this on slack but repeating here for the benefits of everyone

The grammar of pp-number is now such that

1\uxxxx is a pp-number
but
1'\uxxxx isn't

notice the single quote.

for consistency, I propose to replace

pp-number ' digit
pp-number ' nondigit

by

pp-number ' identifier continue

Any reason we should't do that?
(An alternative would be to be more restrictive as to what constitute a pp
number)
