	gensym creates unique, uninterned symbols (no relationship between internal
and external form is maintained in the obarray).  The symbol g0002 which
you typed in is interned by the reader; every instance of g0002 seen by the 
reader will be translated to this same symbol.  It is the internal form
(pointer) and not the print name of a symbol which is tested by eq.
