To avoid that, my habit is to use keywords. Yes, they *also* get
interned and immediately appear in the results of the APROPOS,
but those keywords don't pollute the package I'm in at the time,
and thus don't interfere if I want to import one of the other results.
[And who cares about polluting the keyword package, anyway...]
