Can you be specific? "Read-time side effects" _is_ the read-time
approach. At read time, you intern symbols, thus producing a side
effect, i.e. the program's state is different than before your read.  S
So your assertion is hard to understand.

Where to symbols leak to?  Where do they leak from? Are
you describing bugs from the future?

I've recently implemented a simple-minded <50-line
reader-based approach, I didn't see any "leakage",
but maybe I'm not looking the right place.
