I think having string-upcase in there is better than not having
string-upcase. The problem is that symbols are upper case in CL but in
these modern times we're used to typing lowercase. So to work around
this the input is uppercased. But what if you want a lowercase symbol?

Perhaps the thing to do instead is to use read-from-string. That way
the symbol is read in properly and lowercase symbols can be inputed
using |'s.
