Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt even states
    Constant symbols are always surrounded by single or double quotes.

But apparently the parser doesn't care. All "range" digits are unquoted,
and most "default" digits are unquoted.

I was actually surprised that these were allowed, and only discovered
that when my local script generated a few false positives. But, anyhow,
in practice those symbol names seem to work just fine.
