Enable emoji support in CFML function and variable names

Description

Currently you can only use ASCII in CFML function and variable names, There is no support for emoji's at all (and there should be! They are the future!)

See for example the following code:

<cfscript> writeOutput(💩()); function 💩(){ return "😃"; } </cfscript>

That should run fine!

Please fix immediately! This is of upmost priority!

This ticket does not refer to the normal unicode handling and outputting of variables. Rather it is of using them within your code.

I don't think this is the first time this ticket has been misconstrued. Do you have the ability to change the title of this ticket? Something like "Allow emoji in function and variable names" might make it more clear that this is a very specific (and probably uncommon) use case. The description could also be updated to demonstrate the kind of emoji support Lucee already has and what kind this ticket is specifically requesting.

Lucee can allow you to have emojis in your templates fine. What the ticket is asking for is for ACTUAL function and variable names to have emojis in them which is completely different.

Here, look. This is an example of Lucee having emojis set inside a string variable and it works just fine:

This is what this ticket is talking about which has never worked on Lucee or Adobe.
