Not all streams may be buffered, think for example user-defined gray
streams. And even if they implement buffering, it will still be faster
to have one generic function dispatch instead of maybe 10 or 20 for each
character. Since symbols are so common data types, I think the small
optimization is worth it there.

thank you very much for the bug reports and patches. I have
incorporated your changes in the develop branch of the git

preferable to directly open a merge request at
https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/ instead of sending
patches to the mailing list, since it makes things easier for us.
One more question. Is there a reason you decided to keep
buffer_write_char in write_symbol.d? This seems like double-buffering
to me - shouldn't the stream take care of the buffering? In my simple
test there did not seem to be a performance difference, and the code
was simpler. Am I missing something?
