A symbol name can contain any characters whatever. Most symbol
names are written with letters, digits, and the punctuation
characters `-+=*/'. Such names require no special punctuation; the
characters of the name suffice as long as the name does not look
like a number. (If it does, write a `\' at the beginning of the
name to force interpretation as a symbol.) The characters
`_~!@$%^&:<>{}?' are less often used but also require no special
punctuation. Any other characters may be included in a symbol's
name by escaping them with a backslash.
