Unbox has code to allow unicode identifiers in J, with the following
rules:

- All code must be UTF-8. Invalid UTF-8 causes a spelling error.
- Any non-ASCII character is treated as alphabetic. Identifiers can use
  these characters freely.

This is completely backwards-compatible with existing J, and allows us
to use things like greek characters and code in other languages:

   π
|value error: π
   π =: 1p1
   π
3.14159
   π_1
|value error: π_1

What do people think about this? Should it be added to jsource? Should
the rules be changed for some characters?
