## Identifiers and Words
With a focus on spell checking source code, most text will be in the form of
identifiers that are made up of words conjoined via `snake_case`, `CamelCase`,
etc. A typo at the word level might not be a typo as part of
an identifier, so identifiers get checked and, if not in a dictionary, will
then be split into words to be checked.
Identifiers are defined using
[unicode's `XID_Continue`](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr31/#Table_Lexical_Classes_for_Identifiers)
which includes `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`.
Words are split from identifiers on case changes as well as breaks in
`[a-zA-Z]` with a special case to handle acronyms. For example,
`First10HTMLTokens` would be split as `first`, `html`, `tokens`.
To see this in action, run `typos --identifiers` or `typos --words`.
