That's not a valid use case for the function -- the reader will intern `does-not-exist', and so the `intern-soft' call will just return the interned symbol. The function is meant to be used like: (intern-soft "does-not-exist") So I'm closing this bug reprt. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
