The following characters are always escaped in a symbol:

                if (c == '\"' || c == '\\' || c == '\''
                    || c == ';' || c == '#' || c == '(' || c == ')'
                    || c == ',' || c == '.' || c == '`'
                    || c == '[' || c == ']' || c == '?' || c <= 040
                    || c == NO_BREAK_SPACE
