Here's an example of this idea applied to the [symbol] and [float] boxes.
A good object for tests of any potential changes to symbols is cyclone/comment
Its third argument is a symbol which gives the font to be used. There are more arguments after the third one. Therefore, you cannot currently set a font which has spaces in its name.
A few points:
- "DejaVu Sans Mono" is way easier to type than DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono
- "DejaVu Sans Mono" is way easier to read as a single argument than
DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono
- Allowing [symbol] to automatically convert lists doesn't help this problem.
