[ansi-test-devel] read-symbol.13 test?

In read-symbol.13, the test creates a symbol from a single character and
expects that the symbol-name of the symbol is exactly the same as
specified character.

CMUCL fails this test because intern, make-symbol, and friends convert
the string to Unicode NFC form first.  This conversion usually produces
the same string, but, for example, #\Combining_Grave_Tone_Mark (U+0340)
produces the symbol whose name is #\Combining_Grave_Accent.

I couldn't find anything that says that the string name of the symbol
must be exactly the same as the given string.
