;; I still think it is possible to support `in-package' here. When
;; symbols are uninterned, they could also be stored in a package
;; symbol table. When switching packages, the old symbol table's
;; symbols are uninterned and the new symbols are loaded in. I may add

;; Unfortunately, due to the downright ugly implementation of obarrays
;; in Emacs, it's currently not possible to implement
;; `in-package'. Uninterned symbols cannot be added back to the global
;; obarray (or any other obarray). Symbols are invisibly chained as
;; linked lists in the obarray so it's not possible to put a symbol
;; into two obarrays at the same time -- the chains would
;; conflict. Not only is the required functionality not provided
;; (intentionally), trying to hack it in would break everything.
