Not all latin-1 characters are valid identifier, for example:
>>> '\x94'.encode('latin1')
b'\x94'
>>> '\x94'.isidentifier()
False
There is a workaround, you can convert `bytes` to `str` with "latin-1" decoder
before processing, IIRC there will be no extra overhead (memory/speed) during
processing, then the name and content are the same type. :)
