Strings and symbols should be equally acceptable package designators.
(use-package 'xr) ; (wrong-type-argument symbolp 'xr)
Should work like (use-package "xr")
(package-install "xr") ; (error "Package ‘xr’ is unavailable")
Should work like (package-install 'xr)
instead of erring with that awfully misleading error message.
Peace
