3.10.2 Symbol Names
Unless quoted, symbol names start with a letter, underscore, or period
and may include letters, digits, underscores, periods, and hyphens.
Unquoted symbol names must not conflict with any keywords. You can
specify a symbol which contains odd characters or has the same name as a
keyword by surrounding the symbol name in double quotes:
| "SECTION" = 9;
"with a space" = "also with a space" + 10;
|
Since symbols can contain many non-alphabetic characters, it is safest
to delimit symbols with spaces. For example, `A-B' is one symbol,
whereas `A - B' is an expression involving subtraction.
