## Identifiers

Nickel identifiers start with an alphabetic character, followed by zero or more
alphanumeric characters, `_` (underscores) or `'` (single quotes). For example,
`this-isn't-invalid` is a valid identifier.
Nickel identifiers start with an optional underscore `_` followed by an
alphabetic character (`a` to `z` or `A` to `Z`). They are then followed by
zero or more alphanumeric characters (alphabetic characters or digits `0` to
`9`), `_` (underscores), `-` (dashes) or `'` (single quotes). For example,
`_This-isn't_invalid` is a valid identifier.
