Not sure.  It's nice to avoid the escaping when you don't need it, but
I'm not sure how much complexity that introduces.

If we have to scan the symbol at construction time anyway, I wonder if
there's any clever way we could just set a flag (bit) that says
whether or not the symbol name needs escape encoding when we create
it?  Do we have any unused symbol bits lying around?
