That would indeed be insane.  I don't see anything wrong with GCC's
approach.  You need three states, not two: invalid in identifiers,
invalid at the start of identifiers, and valid in identifiers.  There
are different rules for C and C++.  This is hardly performance
critical code; a binary lookup should suffice.
