Comment (by hinder):

 In Lisp, +, -, *, / etc are all functions, so function names have to be
 able to contain such characters.  In Cactus though, we tend to use
 language constructs which resemble C and Perl (e.g. CCL files), so we
 should echo what is done in those languages, which is to have a more
 restrictive set of allowed symbols.
