Abstract

This SRFI defines the procedure generate-symbol. Each time it is invoked, the procedure returns a new symbol whose name cannot be guessed. The returned symbol is a standard symbol for all purposes; it obeys write/read invariance and it is equal to another symbol if and only if their names are spelt the same.
