/* In order to optimize reading speed, this function breaks part of
 * the hashtable abstraction.  The optimizations are:
 *
 * 1. The argument string can be compared directly to symbol objects
 *    without first creating an SCM string object.  (This would have
 *    been necessary if we had used the hashtable API in hashtab.h.)
 *
 * 2. We can use the raw hash value stored in scm_i_symbol_hash (sym)
 *    to speed up lookup.
 *
 * Both optimizations might be possible without breaking the
 * abstraction if the API in hashtab.c is improved.
