- char c;

- DESCRIPTION
- Iscsym tells whether it is possible that the given character
- could appear in a C symbol. A C symbol might be the name of a
- variable, structure, reserved word or a function. Not all
- characters that are valid in a C symbol may be the first
- character of an identifier in most implementations of C. In
- most versions, the characters allowed after the first character
- are the upper and lower case alphabetic characters, the digits
- '0' to '9' and the underscore (_).

- BUGS
- This function depends on the C compiler used, and thus the
- characters that are valid in a C symbol may be different, even
- on the same machine.
