#### 11.1.2.7 Interning a Symbol in the KEYWORD Package

The `KEYWORD` package is treated differently than other packages in that special actions are taken when a symbol is interned in it. In particular, when a symbol is interned in the `KEYWORD` package, it is automatically made to be an external symbol and is automatically made to be a constant variable with itself as a value.
