Name:
symbol - read a symbol from a string

false

({1 2 add}) symbol -> true /BeginProcedureSymbol (1 2 add})

pushes true, the extracted symbol, and the remainder
of the string. In contrast to the function token,
procedures are not assembled but the individual symbols
are returned. This enables the implementation of
alternative parsers.
