Thanks Guenther.
I will take a look at Sec 1.15.1.3 and annotate my book's index.
A good index is like gold.
A good summary [which doesn't exist] of specifically restricted characters would be nice too.

Your examples of the 'skip behavior' are quite helpful too.  Learners [like myself] often don't know what they need to notice.

In Taiwan, the @ is call the 'mouse tail', since the internet began, the @ symbol's name that other languages have adopted are quite diverse.  There is something in linguistics about amusing names just get recognized and widely accepted.  

Very few Taiwanese understand that this symbol was created for simplifying writing price lists and invoices  [4 items @ $1.50 = $6.00]

Mainly, I now see that we have a compiler sub-catagory of 'lable prefixes' of three items:  the @lable for far calls and far jumps, the :lable for localized lables, and the !lable for writing to mode registers.  The behaviors and uses are quite different.

All three should be indexed.  The @lable is the most obscure because it appears a lot of programers don't used it.
