: allow isolated ' and - in identifiers (only if followed by alpha)

Darn the syntax highlighers, full speed ahead!  :)

I should point out that this change only caused two failures in the
entire test suite, both of which were easily caught as syntax errors.
(The main change is you can't say q'foo' anymore, but have to say
q/foo/ or q 'foo', since q'foo is now a valid identifier.)

Note this still doesn't allow identifiers like 'twas happenin' however.
