#-- yields a syntax error, but #'--' is okay.
However, "'--' asSymbol printString" yields #--,
instead of #'--'.


Test1 (fails now, but should pass):

    Compiler evaluate: '--' asSymbol printString


Test2 (passes now, and should continue to pass):

    Compiler evaluate: '-' asSymbol printString
