…d these (probably defensiveness).

Note

Medium Risk
Changes helper-form parsing to require SExp::Atom in positions 0 and 1 (no implicit atomize()), which could reject previously accepted round-tripped/non-strict inputs and surface new compile errors.

Overview
Removes the defensive atomize() calls in match_op_name_4 when matching helper forms, so the frontend now matches helper keywords and names only when pl[0]/pl[1] are already SExp::Atom.

This tightens parsing behavior for helper definitions (e.g., defun, defconst, defmacro, namespace, import) and may change how non-atom encodings in those positions are handled.

Removing atomize breaks traditional CLVM round-trip compatibility

High Severity

Removing the .atomize() calls means SExp::Integer and SExp::QuotedString values will no longer be converted to SExp::Atom before matching. The match arms only accept SExp::Atom, so when pl[0] or pl[1] arrive as Integer or QuotedString (which the preserved comment on lines 654–657 explicitly says happens during traditional CLVM round-tripping), the function will return None instead of a valid OpName4Match, silently failing to parse helper forms like defun, defmacro, etc.
