Thanks for the link.

I see, I didn't check for closed issues.

I still cannot follow why it was changed in the first place (in 0.51).
Either it was wrong all along before (up to 0.50), or what we have now
is a regression.

Actually, I find it weird now. Naturally, list atom and symbol atom
would have different behaviour since space has a meaning for lists
while it means nothing for symbols. For symbols it's simply a character
like any other.
