OK, so do I have to worry about thread safety? (i.e. using mutexes)
if I'm using a counter to generate the unique syms? I'm figuring I
probably do since multiple threads may be expanding syntax at the same
time. Not a big deal to handle, just wanted to make sure the overhead
was required.

Nah, don't worry about it. It'll be fine. I'm able to spend more
time ATM -- I figure everyone's availability will probably go in
cycles.
