unicode escapes to for "reserved" identifiers

# John Lenz (11 years ago)

I know this was discussed previously but how did things land (the Nov notes lead me to think it was undecided)? Are unicode escapes allowed to form reserved words, or to form identifiers that would otherwise be reserved?

the current draft is up to date WRT to decisions made at Nov. meeting.

See people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-identifiers-and-identifier-names, people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-reserved-words

In summary, escapes can not be used to form identifiers that would otherwise be reserved and unicode escapes can not be used to reserved words.
