Type KEYWORD 
Supertypes:
 
keyword, symbol, t 
Description:
 
The type keyword includes all symbols interned the KEYWORD package. 
Interning a symbol in the KEYWORD package has three automatic effects: 
- 1.  It causes the symbol to become bound to itself. 
- 2.  It causes the symbol to become an external symbol of the KEYWORD package. 
- 3.  It causes the symbol to become a constant variable.
