Well, that's not quite what I asked. Let me rephrase: if I hand
"read" a stream of UTF-8 characters, and it starts trying to parse an
s-expression from them, which characters will it consider to be part
of an identifier? Which will it consider to be whitespace? Which
will it consider to be numbers?
