When reading the .elc file, the symbols will get copied anyway for the reason that they're not interned. If the table that arranges for all references to one symbol within a function to come out as the same symbol is preserved between functions, that ought to do the job. However, this might be inconvenient to do. We might want to set up a new reader mechanism for a specified list of uninterned symbols. That would be a little work, but not hard at all.
