So… spaces are not allowed in symbol and keyword identifiers according to the 
"spec"…

although Stu doesn't quote the phrase following the allowed chars, which reads:

(other characters will be allowed eventually…)

which seems to keep the door open for allowing spaces in the future (?).

If space are not allowed, then it seems we have a bug in (keyword …) and 
(symbol …),
if they will be allowed in the future, then (pr …) could/should be enhanced.
