Ident
InternedString	Represents a string stored in the string interner
Interner
LocalInternedString	Represents a string stored in the interner. Because the interner outlives any thread which uses this type, we can safely treat string which points to interner data, as an immortal string, as long as this type never crosses between threads.
Symbol	A symbol is an interned or gensymed string.
