the whole idea about symbols is, that you can do a pointer comparision
of the *symbol*.
so it should be as simple as:
if(argvec[i].a_type == A_SYMBOL && argvec[i].a_w.w_symbol ==
storedsymbol) post("found match");

the ->s_name field of the symbol is the pointer to the actual C-string,
whereas storedsymbol is a pointer to the symbol.
so you are doing a compare ((const char*)cstr == (t_symbol*)sym), which
is clearly wrong.
