Funnily enough, I think we should discourage the use of obarrays.
There are times/places where they are really indispensable (when we
really need to handle *symbols*), but in the majority of cases where
I could see this obarray.el being used, a hash-table would work better
(e.g. hash-table-p is more reliable, print+read actually works, access
is usually faster, ...).
