The symbol separator cannot be escaped when parsing symbols #415

Description

@porcuquine

Trying to read a symbol containing a dot fails.

lurk-user> 'a.b

This should yield the symbol .lurk-user.a.b — which should print as a.b from the lurk-user package.

Some more test cases:

lurk-user> '.a.b

should read as .a.b (absolute rather than relative).

And the dot should be escapable, so

lurk-user> 'a\.b

reads as |a.b|.
