I suspect that if we want to be able to produce unique symbols that can be serialized, we should use random symbols of sufficient length that the chance of collision is vanishing small (that is, similar to a UUID or GUID).

While a #u:X approach would work for a single output, if I produce multiple output files I have no reliable way to put the same uninterned symbol in different files.
