[vwnc] [Bug][vw76] SystemUtils class>>validateName: accepts illegal names

SystemUtils class>>validateName: is used for checking names for illegal
characters, e.g. for bundle and class names. However, it accepts names
starting with a digit, and all-digit names. AFAIK, these are not legal names
for classes and methods. It may be different for packages and bundles, as
these are not part of the Smalltalk language.

Test case:
    LiteralBindingReference pathString: '1.2.3'
should raise an error.

Best regards,
Joachim Geidel
