      According to the spec draft at http://wikis.sun.com/display/mlvm/ProjectCoinProposal
      the following exotic identifiers are legal for using in class names:
      #"\>" #"\<" #"\]"
      #"\$" #"\#" #"\&" #"\(" #"\)" #"\*" #"\+" #"\:" #"\@" #"\|" #"\~"
      However, all of them are rejected by the Java compiler(JDK 7 b76) when used as class names.
