Hm, thanks! So much for last-second changes! :-|
Yes, I like your implementation much better. My version obviously would
work (and it worked), if the uninterned symbol was replaced by an
interned ...
I also thought about using a gensym, but that didn't really have such
an advantage in contrast to using just a bare symbol.

(and I really like your quotes from unmain.html! ;)
