I apologize for misunderstanding your joke.  Your points are valid.  As for saying underscore is generally considered an 'ascii character', note the 'quotes'.  In the email I also (erroneously) consider character and 8-bit-char the same.

Real unix users never use a name that isn't a valid C Identifier (except when using URLs)!

PS: And who uses 127-255 characters anyway?  With UTF8 compatible with ASCII, it's pretty much died out AFAIK.
