The print name of a symbol may consist of up to 16777216 (i.e., the value of
array-total-size-limit
) characters. However, when a symbol is read, the
number of characters (not counting escape characters) in the print name is
limited to 2048.
It is not recommended to write on the strings which have been passed to #'make-symbol or returned from #'symbol-name.
