From the spec:
about symbols - "Symbols are used to represent identifiers"
about keywords - "Keywords are identifiers that typically designate themselves."
more than that: in this reader implementation nil, true, false are also valid identifiers with special handling to turn them into nil and bool.
I encourage you to reread original specification and then continue after "this insanity" :)

Call it symbol, if it's not identifiable
