Hi,

Right now you can use full UTF-8 for method names. This has some
conceptual purity, but in practice with glib, qt, python, and everything
else talking to each other, if you use any unusual characters the whole
thing is going to implode.

So I'm tempted to say you can only use [a-z][A-Z][0-9]_ and it can't
start with a number. Least common denominator naming. Does anyone hate
that?
