+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
