GSOC | Extending Common Lisp support

I'm finding MAKE-SYMBOL a bit mysterious, I "blindly" followed the
spec and chose this as a definition, all the tests I could find
passed:

(defun make-symbol (x)
  (invoke-static gnu.mapping.Symbol 'makeUninterned x))

But I'm struggling to see what the motivation for MAKE-SYMBOL is, when
do you use such a function?
