We have long claimed to support identifiers up to about 255 characters
370+
long. However this was actually true only for identifiers that
371+
consisted of only ASCII characters. The real upper limit was as few as
372+
64 characters for identifiers written in other languages, for example,
373+
Chinese or Osage. Now an identifier in any language may contain at
374+
least 255 characters.
