There are other languages (C) for which identifiers can only be of the  
form you are expressing, and many languages with C runtimes share the  
same restrictions.

However, I would go for identifier as:

identifier ::= (letter) (letter | digit | "_")*

¿Do you think this is too restrictive? I don't see the point of named  
parameters which use _variableName, as this is typically done for  
hidden properties... And I think we should allow MType identifiers to  
be legal identifiers in all (most) languages... even if a protocol  
identifier does not need to correspond one to one to variables in a  
computer language.
