Description

Right now the create methods presume interned strings, but not all users are disciplined about that. Also, Terracotta can correctly identity-share explicitly interned strings but not implicit ones (like string literals). We care because symbol equality is based on string identity.

liwp said: Symbol/create(ns, name) gets called e.g. for def forms with ns == null, so I had to add a null check. I couldn't find the create() call that was causing this, so the null check was an easier option.

richhickey said: I think it might be best to get rid of the create methods entirely. It's only confusing to have both. I can do the refactor of the Clojure code - the patch would be daunting
