   As well as being unclean, that doesn't solve the problem of gensym
   being undefined at runtime.

`gensym' _only_ needs to be defined at runtime when gensym is going to
be _called_ at runtime.  I said that I still had to double check my
alternative patch should it be needed.  I did check in the `winner'
case that `gensym' was _not_ called at runtime.  I would strongly
guess that this is the case with _all_ these calls to `gensym'.
Clearly, I would have to _check_ that this is really the case.

All of this only matters if there are real problems with Stefan's patch.

Sincerely,

Luc.
