To amend that question: When reading Racket code, will "|" *always*
delimit either a symbol or a substring of a symbol?

I thought "|" always delimited a symbol, but if so, then the
documentation at
"http://doc.racket-lang.org/reference/reader.html#(part._default-readtable-dispatch)"
seems obtuse:
| starts a subsequence of characters to be included verbatim in the
delimited sequence (i.e., they are never treated as delimiters, and
they are not case-folded when case-insensitivity is enabled); the
subsequence is terminated by another |, and neither the initial nor
terminating | is part of the subsequence.
