Unfortunately, symbols are daisy-chained from their obarray bucket, so
even unused symbols can't be collected until all their successors in the
hidden hash bucket chain have become unused as well.
It would not be hard to make GC know how to GC symbols and delete them
from the obarray. This is a traditional Lisp feature that I left out
to make Emacs smaller.
However, it won't do much good unless you create a lot of symbols that
you don't need for long. Is that happening?
