I don't know what kind of characters are usually received as input. If things like (ASCII) spaces, parentheses, commas are common, then the optimization is probably OK.
@Martin
Do you know the reason why characters with the Other_ID_Start have been included in the first place, given that they are no longer considered valid identifiers and I can hardly think any situation where someone would need it? Could they be removed from 3.5 if that makes the code simpler? |
