Oddball packages *ought* to be ok (Score:1)

That's just strange and weird. The only things disallowed in package names are apostrophe, double colon, and null. That shouldn't be an error at all!

Or rather... it appears that to be that package names may be created any which way but to call a method it has to match the following macro or a more complicated utf8 thing I'm having difficulty following.

#define isIDFIRST(c) (isALPHA(c) || (c) == '_')

Bummer! This is an arbitrary irregularity!
