Hmm. There are two sentences in http://clojure.org/reader that begin
" '/' has special meaning" and " '.' has special meaning"
respectively. Is that not enough?
As the OP, that was clear to me.
I know not to try to use miles/gallon as a simple symbol.
In my (old) Common Lisp code, I had two kinds of symbols that used '>'
characters:
foo->bar
>bar
The first was a simple foo to bar converter, the second was
multimethod for converting many different kinds of things to a bar.
