This is something that I have been wondering about too. In CL the symbols gensym produces can not be read by the reader so there can be no collision cause the only way to get a handle on the symbol is to create it with gensym and hold on to it. In other words you couldn't construct a symbol that would = one gensym returns even after the fact if you wanted to except by copying the reference. At least that was my understanding of it. Seem like those semantics work pretty well.
