1) gensym is a standard (Common Lisp) for introducing new symbols in
defmacros.
2) I am not too familiar with Guile internals, I do not know too much
about interned/uninterned symbols. I wrote cut/cute using Guile 1.6.
AFAIR make-symbol was introduced in 1.7
3) gensym is better for macro debugging (when you use macroexpand +
pretty-print, #<uninterned symbol foo 807f810> is long and quite
annoying to read)
4) Does make-symbol any significant performance improvement over plain
gensyms?
0.
