#908: Define uninterned symbols in the manual

     Type:  enhancement    |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  minor          |   Milestone:  4.8.0
Component:  documentation  |     Version:  4.8.x
 Keywords:                 |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 The Chicken manual lists procedures gensym, string->uninterned-symbol and
 symbol-append under section "Generating uninterned symbols" but never
 explains what uninterned symbols are. It would be helpful if somebody who
 is familiar with the internals of Chicken writes a paragraph or two on
 what uninterned symbols are and about  the implications of their use.
 Furthermore, although symbol-append is listed under that section, its
 documentation says that it generates a "new interned symbol", so perhaps
 it should be moved to a different section.
