Would we change the meanings of is_utf8_idcont and is_utf8_idfirst, or  
introduce new functions?

In anticipation of this change, I’ve attached a patch that corrects  
the test in utf8.t to use ¡ instead of ·. I’ve also moved the test  
outside of the eval, so it will still run (and fail) if the  
compilation fails, instead of causing an invalid test count.
