In what sense? Apparently (symbol the-name) doesn't suffice for your
purposes. I think we need to know what those purposes actually are, in

I didn't claim they weren't useful. I said, and I quote, "I'm not sure
why you'd want one". That's not quite the same thing, because it
allows for the possibility that there is a good use for them that has
thus far escaped my notice. If you know of such a use, by all means
describe it here.
