Re: Prior art table, and the use of ":" for lexical syntax

Jeronimo:
After further investigation, I think that uninterned symbols, 'eqv?', and
'symbol=?' display some very strange behavior in STklos. For example, in
STklos 2.10,
> (define x (string->uninterned-symbol "foo"))
;; x
> (eqv? x 'foo)
#t
> (symbol=? x 'foo)
#f
Is this a bug? Surely 'eqv?' and 'symbol=?' should agree here. (The
same thing occurs with 'gensym': symbols created by 'gensym' are eqv?
to other symbols with the same name, but they aren't symbol=? to them.)
