Re: [SG16] D1949R4 - C++ Identifier Syntax using Unicode Standard Annex 31

I believe this note is in opposition to languages that originated
contemporaneously with C but that do not distinguish between upper and
lower case. Fortran and Cobol, for example, do not, but also restrict the
identifier set to ASCII equivalent letters.
I think it is clear enough, since it is a Note, but is certainly a
candidate for reevaluation in another pass through lex bringing all of this
out of 1970s technical lexicon.
