Some special characters in ids; new demos

Adds support for several special characters in identifiers. Adds a demo
for converting values to source code and another for checking equality.
Updates the existing demo and tests to reflect new names for functions
returning booleans.

-- Thanks to intensionality, we can inspect the structure of a given value
-- even if it's a function. This includes lambdas which are eliminated to
-- Tree Calculus (TC) terms during evaluation.
-- Triage takes four arguments: the first three represent behaviors for each
-- structural case in Tree Calculus (Leaf, Stem, and Fork).
-- The fourth argument is the value whose structure is inspected. By evaluating
-- the Tree Calculus term, `triage` enables branching logic based on the term's
-- shape, making it possible to perform structure-specific operations such as
-- reconstructing the terms' source code representation.

(t (head "t") -- Add a "t"
(t (head " ") -- Add a space.

(t (head ")") rest)))))) -- Close with ")" and append the rest.
