    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.
