Currently there's a bug in id_compress() where it doesn't take into account 
UTF-8 sequences, as a subset of them are allowed as identifiers. I rue the day I 
allowed that in D, but we're kinda stuck with it.

I kinda hate disallowing control characters, because then the compressor gets a 
bit specific.
