OBARRAY should be a vector of lists, indexed by the name's hash
value, modulo OBARRAY's length. Each list has the form
((SYMBOL . VALUE) ...), where SYMBOL is a symbol, and VALUE is the
value associated with that symbol (in the current module? in the
system module?)
To "intern" a symbol means: if OBARRAY already contains a symbol by
that name, return its (SYMBOL . VALUE) pair; otherwise, create a
new symbol, add the pair (SYMBOL . SCM_UNDEFINED) to the
appropriate list of the OBARRAY, and return the pair.
If softness is non-zero, don't create a symbol if it isn't already
in OBARRAY; instead, just return #f.
If OBARRAY is SCM_BOOL_F, create a symbol listed in no obarray and
return (SYMBOL . SCM_UNDEFINED).
If OBARRAY is scm_symhash, and that doesn't contain the symbol,
check scm_weak_symhash instead. */

/* SCM_LENGTH(SYM) is the length of SYM's name in characters, and
SCM_CHARS(SYM) is the address of the first character of SYM's name.
Beyond that, there are two kinds of symbols: ssymbols and msymbols,
distinguished by the 'S' bit in the type.
Ssymbols are just uniquified strings. They have a length, chars,
and that's it. They use the scm_tc7_ssymbol tag (S bit clear).
Msymbols are symbols with extra slots. These slots hold a property
list and a function value (for Emacs Lisp compatibility), a hash
code, and a flag to indicate whether their name contains multibyte
characters. They use the scm_tc7_msymbol tag.
We'd like SCM_CHARS to work on msymbols just as it does on
ssymbols, so we'll have it point to the symbol's name as usual, and
store a pointer to the slots just before the name in memory. Thus,
you have to do some casting and pointer arithmetic to find the
slots; see the SCM_SLOTS macro.
In practice, the slots always live just before the pointer to them.
So why not ditch the pointer, and use negative indices to refer to
the slots? That's a good question; ask the author. I think it was
the cognac. */
