I just had a thought for an easy way to generate symbols that are numbers or that contain spaces: use the message box. What if these generated proper symbols:

[symbol 123( [symbol blah blah( -- makes "blah blah"

Can anyone think of downsides to this? I can't imagine anyone relying on the fact that [symbol blah blah( now makes "blah" and drops the " blah"
