I suspect that this may be necessary in order to make this work on ACL
in "modern," case-sensitive mode.  Using the symbol-name of an
uninterned symbol is usually the way I code for portability across mlisp
and other lisps.

Note that you can't reliably just do this at compile-time, since you can
toggle the case mode in ACL.
