Bug Description

maybe not so important, as gensyms generated by gensym are not affected (because | clearly deliminates the unique symbol there)

BUT

breaks the examples in the user guide!

> '#{foo}
Unhandled exception
 Condition components:
   1. &lexical
   2. &message: "invalid identifier syntax"
   3. &irritants: ("foo}")
   4. &lexical-position:
       file-name: *stdin*
       character: 7
> '#{foo bar}
Unhandled exception
 Condition components:
   1. &lexical
   2. &message: "invalid identifier syntax"
   3. &irritants: ("bar}")
   4. &lexical-position:
       file-name: *stdin*
       character: 19
