The real big question of course is _WHY_ in earths name would they do that?
And even if one would think creating a language is equal to a generalising
feature creep, and one would throw readability as argument out of the
window, is it really worth quoting all identifiers (if mandatory), and the
confusion if it isn't to be able to have leading numbers in identifiers?


(btw
There is a simple faq btw about extensions, things to do before suggesting a
language feature.
