Identifiers

Qore identifiers must start with an alphabetic character or an "_", and then may contain any number of alphabetic, numeric, or "_" characters. There is no length limit on Qore identifiers.

All Qore identifiers are case-sensitive, therefore the identifier `hello_there` is not the same as `Hello_There` or `HELLO_THERE`.

The following are examples of valid Qore identifiers:
