How about limiting it to (NameChar)*? This still prohibits most ASCII
punctuation, and I'm not at all sure that's a good idea. If we really want an
extension point, one character should be enough. What's wrong with assigning
special meaning to something involving a space, say? Or just use something
that's unlikely to come up in real-world identifiers, and if we want to make it
standard, make conflicting id's invalid after the fact.
