  Change: Previously valid identifiers containing characters not present in UAX #44 properties XID_Start or XID_Continue, or not in Normalization Form C, are now rejected.
  Rationale: Prevent confusing characters in identifiers. Requiring normalization of names ensures consistent linker behavior.
  Effect on original feature: Some identifiers are no longer well-formed.
