Using Make-Symbol



In reply to mbr@breeze.bellcore.com:

Important point... anyone who's ever tried debugging a
macro-expansion with #:G8494, #:G8495, etc, has encountered
this problem.

Nit Elaboration:

'#:foobar   is shorthand for    (make-symbol "FOOBAR")

I find it looks much nicer:

	(let ((foo '#:foo))
	  `(let ((,foo ,form))
	     ...))
