changeset 16141:9cbc74969e46

Add #n=object, #n#, and #:symbol constructs to reader. (readevalloop, read, Fread_from_string): Empty list of read objects before read0 call. (read1): New variable `uninterned_symbol', which controls how to make symbols. Support #:, #n=object and #n#. (make_symbol): New function, used in read1 to make uninterned symbols (Fintern): Set `obarray' field of interned symbols. (init_obarray): Explicit set `obarray' field of symbol `nil'. (syms_of_lread): staticpro read_objects, the list of read objects.
