remove unused functions, fix tiny lexing bug

before this change, the parser would parse 14.a() as a method call, but
would parse 14.ø() as the floating-point number 14. followed by a function
call. This is because it was checking is_alpha, rather than ident_start,
and was therefore wrong with respect to unicode.
