I'm sorry, but what is difficult about “it can be used *once*”. I understand
that as “there can be zero or one slashes in a symbol”.

Is this intentional? I would have expected a/b/c to be
rejected as a symbol name since we use slashes to separate

My question probably should have been: is it intentional that the Clojure
reader
accepts symbol names containing more than one slash, producing a
namespace portion
of the symbol containing slashes in its name?
