Summary: [pack symbol] accepts non-symbols

Initial Comment:

If [pack symbol ...] receives a message with just a selector, 
then it treats it as if it was a symbol.  I.e.  this packs a symbol:

[test(  <--this works
|
|                 [test(   <-- this throws an error
|                 |
[pack symbol symbol]



Tested on Mac OS X: 0.40-2 and 0.39.3-extended-rc5.
