make-symbol

(make-symbol string)

Returns a fresh uninterned symbol named #:<string> — the same #: convention gensym uses. rontolisp has no intern table (symbols compare by name), so "uninterned" is represented by the #: name prefix: the result is never eq to a plain symbol with the same spelling, but two make-symbol calls with the same string DO yield eq symbols (a deviation from Common Lisp, where every make-symbol result is a distinct object). For guaranteed-unique temporaries use gensym, which appends a counter.
