Nothing. Strings get turned into symbols automagically and so both will
add the label :label.

No.

The latter is necessary, but only because of Ruby's syntax. You can also
use "sup-devel", of course.

Same as with -'s.

It will work but will give you weird errors later on down the road as
punishment for being tricky. :)
