do you read it that way? I think the doc (if you are referring to http://clojure.org/reader) are a little vague here: "Symbols begin with a non-numeric character". > and > letters, numbers, and *, +, !, -, _, and ? elsewhere than the first > character, while making no guarantees about most other characters I understood that other characters weren't allowed at all. So I wondered that I could create a variable-name starting with a %. But the vagueness about the first char jumped right in, since it allows the % there. But then, it just feels like an accident and not like purpose, so I thought, I'd better ask. >> And, wouldn't it be nice to get a clearer error-message? :-) > > Wouldn't it always?
