[Feature Request] Remove all non-delimiter symbols from _lisp_quoted_specials

[lenianiva]

Can we remove the following from Symbol._lisp_quoted_specials?

('.', r'\.')
('#', r'\#')
('?', r'\?')

Removing these 3 only causes one unit test to fail:

        self.assert_parse(r'path\.join', Symbol(r'path.join'))

which imo should be this anyways:

        self.assert_parse(r'path.join', Symbol(r'path.join'))

What is the case for removing them? I'm not certain why this were here in the first place, but I'm hesitant to remove them with out a strong reason in case I am missing something.

I did go ahead and remove ('.', r'\.').

Why should these operators be escaped at all? Is there a particular reason for them?

I'm not the original author, which is why I am hesitant to charge in. The original author no longer wanted to maintain this so I offered to take over. I'm not really sure where and how most people are using this library. The only cases I really know of is someone doing something with KiCAD and the python-epc server for emacs integration.

Digging through the history, just now, it looks like those operators are escaped especially for python-epc. I may have just broken that package in a release that was meant to fix it. I think I'm going to have to install that setup and do some testing.
