I was working with files containing a Byte Order Mark today, and in the process of writing a test case, I discovered that
(string->symbol “\uFEFF”) produces a symbol whose printed representation is ‘hello … which seems unfortunate; I guess I would have expected something like ‘|\uFEFFhello| (… although I see now that this kind of escaping is not currently enabled inside vertical bars). This leads to situations where two symbols with the same printed representation may not be equal?, which seems unfortunate. Am I overlooking a good reason why this is the desired behavior?
