A minor question, is there a better CS term for “punctuation marks”?

Names like @code{root}, @code{expression}, @code{number},
@code{operator} are nodes' @dfn{type}.  However, not all nodes in a
syntax tree have a type.  Nodes that don't are @dfn{anonymous nodes},
and nodes with a type are @dfn{named nodes}.  Anonymous nodes usually
represent punctuation marks (FIXME: better word than ``puncturation
marks''?) like quote @samp{"} and bracket @samp{[}, or tokens that
have a fixed representation, such as keywords like @code{return}.
