This is approved, with the following changes:
Scheme is not case-sensitive. R5RS, section 2: "Upper and lower case
forms of a letter are never distinguished except within character and
string constants. For example, Foo is the same identifier as FOO, and
#x1AB is the same number as #X1ab."
In lookup_symbol, please just go ahead and change the value of `name';
don't change every use of `name' to `copy'. `copy' is a poor variable
name. If it is necessary to keep the original, unmodified name
around, keep it in a variable named `original_name'. (But I don't see
any remaining uses of `name', so I don't think this is necessary.)
Please update the comment above the call to check_field.
Thanks!
