[docs] [issue13821] misleading return from isidentifier

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

IMO allow_non_nfkc=True that just returns False would be a bad idea, since as Benjamin points out it *is* a valid identifier, it's just not normalized (yet).  Raising might work, that way you could tell the difference, but that would be a weird API for such a check function.  Regardless, we should probably keep this issue to a doc patch, and open a new issue for any proposed enhancement request.  

And you probably want to discuss it on python-ideas first, since the underlying issue is a bit complex and the solution non-obvious, with possible knock-on effects.  (Or maybe I'm wrong and the consensus will be that returning False with that flag would be fine.)
