Howdy all. I've attached two patches. The first modifies S_intuit_method by moving a scan_word a bit lower into the function, which stops us from doing needless work and might provide a very minor speedup for things like 'new $foo' or 'is $foo, $bar'. Second patch modifies the VALID_LEN_ONE_IDENT macro to take a char argument, rather than a char* and then doing a bunch of dereferences.
