Maybe it's obvious but I always wondered why LilyPond identifiers are
so restricted to [a-zA-Z] characters.
They aren't.

I did not claim that everything in the world can be an identifier, but
clearly more than [a-zA-Z].
So what is the definition of allowed characters then?
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/file-structure.html
says:
"The name of a variable should have alphabetic characters only; no
numbers, underscores or dashes."
And I think I'm not alone with the instant reaction: "Hey, alphabetic
character, and not even numbers, this surely evaluates to [a-zA_Z]"
