The specification was set up so that all rules that use
lowerId,simpleId,upperIdwere introduced in the Identifier section (aside fromqualId, which is introduced before in the section on Import directives). This meant that there was one convenient central place where users could look up the allowed identifier syntax for everything.This PR restores this principle in two ways:
upperIddirectly rather than referring toclassname) are changed to follow the existing behaviour of older rules.moduleSignatureName,signatureExpr, andparameterNameand are added to theIdentifiersection.
