I have the impression that your needs are a bit vague ;-)
E.g. which buffer should be used to resolve the "buffer-localness"?
The one when `intern` is called or the one when the already-interned
symbol is used?

Maybe you'd be interested in the effort to add some kind of namespace
mechanism by adding some "prefix rewrite" rules used by the reader, so
you could say that the "f:" prefix maps to "formi-" and then a
symbol like "f:dable" is read as "formi-dable"?
