No, it doesn't. The backslash was an accident, and anyway after fixing
the reader too #{foo\ bar}# reads the same as #{foo bar}#. Those
symbols need to be unique lexically, but not globally, so it's not a big
deal. At some point we will need globally unique gensyms but this
change does not adversely impact the current state of things.
Cheers,
Andy
