+     * If we were called with a non-ascii encoding, then change
+     * the encoding to ASCII, unless the symbol had multi-byte characters
+     * and there are trailing non-identifier characters that are 
+     * outside of ASCII. But all multi-byte characters
+     * are identifier chars, so there will never be trailing characters
+     * so this clause always changes the encoding of the string.
+     *
+     * The upshot is that the symbol is placed in the hashtable with
+     * an ASCII encoding, but is queried (at the top of this function)
+     * with its real encoding.  So :x == :x is false when x is a
+     * multi-byte character.
