Description

Ticket #16536 introduces patch that fixes this for fields that are numbers. It turns out that some people start their table names with numbers (e.g.: '3starost') and Django doesn't like that.

This patch extends current functionality by making sure that first character of table isn't a digit:

                         "valid Python identifier.")

Original patch didn't have a test and I'm not sure how actually test this within Django framework, but I'm happy to write one I someone can give me hint where to start, if it's required.
