]makeSymbol

Function: ]makeSymbol { [token] default-pkg -> symbol }
file: job.t
package: lisp
status: alpha

The ]makeSymbol prim is a hardcoded speed hack intended to be used by the Muq compilers (for example, the Lisp read function) to translate a symbol token returned by |readLispChars into the corresponding symbol.

The [token] input should be a block of integers such as returned by lisp:|classifyLispToken or |backslashesToHighbit.

See section intern. See section makeSymbol. See section |findSymbol?.
