I have no idea. For me it make more sense to create a function, maybe because
it's shorter than (generate-uninterned-symbol) since it's not exactly the
same as (gensym). It's replacement only in specific conditions. gensym don't
need to create uninterned symbol, it can use different way of making the
symbols unique.
