The description of COPY-SYMBOL should read as follows:
"COPY-SYMBOL returns an uninterned
symbol whose print name is EQUAL to
the print name of the symbol that is the first argument to COPY-SYMBOL."
I think that the comparison function should be STRING=. It does return
the same result as EQUAL, but it's more precise since we know that
strings are the only things to be compared here.
