We should implement a version of gentemp specifically for psyntax.ss,
and put it in ince-9/syncase.scm with the name 'gensym' (but don't
export it).

Yep, that was my fault.  It got deprecated when I removed the obarray
stuff from symbols.c.  I deprecated it since I reasoned that it was
too closely tied to obarrays and because CL deprecates it as well.  it
should also be easily implemented whenever its functionality is
needed.

I will add a NEWS entry.
