I *think* you're saying that the _Py_Identifier( ) is a smaller set
than identifiers in general. Would the following be more accurate?
/* PEP3131 does allow non-ASCII identifiers in user code, but
limits their use within the implementation itself.
In particular, a _Py_Identifier may be passed directly to
C code; such identifiers are restricted to ASCII to avoid
breaking some supported C compilers. */
