[issue5358] Unicode control characters are not allowed as identifiers

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett <python at mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:

The definition of a word in the new re module (actually targetted at
Python 2.7) is currently a sequence of L&, N&, M& and Pc.

I suppose ideally we want the definitions of a word and an identifier to
be basically the same, except that an identifier can't start with N&.
