In working with the Simple Event Correlator developers on ways to support
lumberjack style logs in that tool, an interesting question was raised
about legal field names.

Is it legal for a field name to start with a number?

It's very common for languages to have rules about variable names that
prohibit this, and in the case of SEC, it allows for some nice
optimizations.

As far as I know, no currently contemplated field names would violate this
rule.

thoughts?
