Actually, you can with SOM with clever use of the sort_key attribute within
a subspace.  Create a new subspace with a larger than normal sort key.  Within
that space create a single symbol "_end".

Though I'd worry about precisely *why* someone wants the _end symbol; whatever
they're trying to do there's probably a better way.
