A seemingly predictable name is a rather bad idea, because it would be
very brittle, e.g., depend on other libraries loaded, or even loading
order. It's better to have clearly non-deterministic (e.g. gensym)
than something that pretends to be deterministic but isn't in practice.
In fact, it might be best if typeof returned the symbol itself. At
least that cleanly matches the generative nature of the type
definition. If you want it to work cross-realm, you have to broker the
symbol as usual.
