Document that symbolic_number is not actually a namelist #1149

Closed jsberg-bnl closed 1 month ago

When I read the documentation for symbolic_number in the Initialization chapter, I was a bit confused by your example since it didn't make sense as a namelist. But then I read the code and saw that it wasn't really a namelist, and you were parsing for symbol = expression. It might be good to clarify that point. And that putting division in your expression is fine as long as you don't do something creative like splitting the expression across lines and ending one line with / for division...

OK I have reworded the section. If there is still something that is unclear please suggest a correction.
