*intern-allows-symbol*

If true, the Common Lisp function intern will accept a symbol as its first (required) argument as well as a string. If that argument is a symbol, intern extracts its print name and uses that string to look up an existing symbol or create a new one. The initial value is t. When the value of this variable is nil, intern signals an error when passed a symbol as its first argument.
