Hi Joel,

IIRC name isn’t actually interned with String.intern() but in the VM:s Symbol table as a name representing a (Java) method. Should be equivalent, as long as we don’t start comparing it with == with interned Strings. I think that's not true.

You are right, I was confusing name with the Symbol itself.
