Just so.

Excellent. This is already well underway in the numbers egg.

Hmm. How about this idea:
Use - unless one or more of the names contains -, in which case
Use ~ unless one or more of the names contains ~, in which case
Use . unless one or more ...
and as far forward as you want, defined by a string somewhere
that gives the priority order. Furthermore, the single-word
name should also *begin* with the chosen delimiter, so that
it's unambiguous which it is.
