Simple Symbols

A simple symbol does not contain any periods and does not start with a digit (09).

By default, its value is the characters of the symbol (that is, translated to uppercase). If the symbol has been assigned a value, it names a variable and its value is the value of that variable.

These are simple symbols:
FRED
Whatagoodidea?    /* Same as WHATAGOODIDEA? */
?12
<.D.A.T.E>
