Comment:

 This would be really easy to implement once we have python 3. Apparently,
 valid identifiers got extended:

 http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3131/

 String literals also got an `isidentifier()` method.

 I don't know how to do this efficiently, while still allowing people to
 just use α (alpha) as a variable name.
