Subject: [Q] non-alphabetic character in symbol

Hi, 

I have a question.
I want to contain non-alphabetical character (like '+', '-', and so on)
in symbol.

p :symbol		# ==> :symbol
p 'symbol'.intern()	# ==> :symbol
p '+symbol'.intern()	# ==> :+symbol
p :'+symbol';		# ==> parse error

This means that I must use intern() if I want to contain
non-alphabetical character in symbol?

Regards,
