An id is a sequence of characters not including a space or one of the following:
" , ' ` ( ) [ ] { } | ; #
A number is a number such as 123, 3/2, or 5.5.
A string is enclosed by a pair of ". Unlike symbols, strings may be split into characters and manipulated by a variety of primitive functions. For example, "abcdef", "This is a string", and "This is a string with \" inside" are all strings.
A character begins with #\ and has the name of the character. For example, #\a, #\b, and #\space are characters.
