correction:
WRONG:
each symbol gets read.
the symbol is looked up in a hash table (called "the current package")
if the symbol is not found
then it gets added to the hash table ("interned in the current package")
else a new symbol is made an added to the hash table.

else the existing symbol from the hash table is used.
