Ouch, that's pretty severe; if I had symbols foo, foobar, and foobarbaz then it
would be random whether the reference @foobarbaz evaluated as (@foo)barbaz,
(@foobar)baz, or as (@foobarbaz)?

If that's indeed what this issue is saying, I think there needs to be either (a)
a way of explicitly saying 'I meant (@foobarbaz)', or a guarantee to match the
longest symbol name. The latter would still mean I couldn't express the intent
(@foobar)baz, so some kind of (optional) delimiter syntax seems like the best
solution.

This is why Bourne-style shells support both $foo and ${foo}, for disambiguating
shell variable refernces. Perhaps Clay could do the same?
