Add new symbol syntaxes #31

Closed j-f1 closed 5 years ago

j-f1 commented 5 years ago

Two new syntaxes are added:

:'foo'/:"foo" for symbol names that aren’t valid identifiers
::foo (or ::'foo'/::"foo") for local symbols that are unique

I don't see much of a point in having symbol names that aren't identifiers. And "unique" symbols, doesn't mesh well with my thoughts on privacy via inaccessibility #35
