Re: string to symbol, how?

[Ora Lassila <ora@ISL1.RI.CMU.EDU>]

Several different approaches have been suggested so far, like reading
from a string, reading from a string input stream, and interning. What
about

	(MAKE-SYMBOL string)

This creates an _uninterned_ symbol, it is not inserted in any package
(this may or may not be desirable). One can insert the symbol into a
package by calling IMPORT.
