Description:

    Shell variable can start with number and can even be printed with
    'declare', as in
        1=aaa
        1a=bbb
        declare -p 1 1a

    But, they can't be removed, as in
        unset 1 1a              --> ...: not a valid identifier

    Bash-2.05b correctly gives me error, however.
