Description

In SOLR-350, we added support for multiple cores. To access each core, you send a request to:
http://host:port/context/@core0/handlerpath - uses core0
http://host:port/context/@core1/handlerpath - uses core1

This is fine unless a hander is registered to the a name that starts with '@'

I think we should make a rule that the 1st character has to be a letter or digit. This will give us room to treat other leading punctuation as a key token.

Perhaps it is not fair to add this restriction after 1.2, but it is (hopefully) a rare case so not a big deal. I guess we could add a configurable flag to not check this condition...
