An identifier is any nonempty Unicode string of the following form:
Either
* The first character has property [`XID_start`]
* The remaining characters have property [`XID_continue`]
Or
* The first character is `_`
* The identifier is more than one character, `_` alone is not an identifier
* The remaining characters have property [`XID_continue`]
that does _not_ occur in the set of [strict keywords].
> **Note**: [`XID_start`] and [`XID_continue`] as character properties cover the
> character ranges used to form the more familiar C and Java language-family
> identifiers.
