   This makes cref confused when it tries to handle macro-generated names
   of top-level definitions.  What to do?  Say all interned symbols
   precede all uninterned symbols, or break name ties by putting interned
   symbols first, perhaps?

Of course, that doesn't help to break ties between uninterned symbols,
in light of which I think SYMBOL<? should reject uninterned symbols
altogether.  The system needs another way to deal with the cref issue,
but some other day...
