atom, symbolp, numberp; stringp?

Hi,

the documentation for ATOM 

 - Function: ATOM (exp)
     is TRUE if exp is atomic (i.e. a number or name) else FALSE.
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

seems to imply that

    atom(x)

is equivalent to

    symbolp(x) or numberp(x).

Not surprisingly, I also found that strings are atoms (there does not
seem to be a stringp function, BTW).  Are there any other
possibilities for atoms in Maxima?

Thanks again,

Albert.
