This breaks the (potential) syntax-level analyzers. The problem is
that Unicodable blends together many categories of tokens.
Reserved operators should be reserved operators, etc.
You can add a string argument to Operator and Identifier if you wish.

[[ and ]] should definitely not be matched as one Unicodable,
each bracket is a separate symbol!

btw I think we should leave user-defined operators/identifiers alone.
As I understand
it one can create one's own unicode operators, therefore this can be
extremely confusing.
Users that want that can always put it in their own config.
