By the way, I do think that it makes sense to forbid something as 
'x+y' as an identifier. The syntax that Matt Lye proposed (FunnyChar 
[AnyChar] FunnyChar) seems quite usable, but I do not know whether it 
is feasible. Zero or more FunnyChars at either end may be even more 
usable, and not less feasible.

So in the end, the remaining question may be: if 'x+y' is not an 
identifier, should it be an expression, or should it be rejected 
altogether?
