How am I a Schemer? I wasn't aware Scheme(I only know R5RS) had packages or uninterned symbols. Some Scheme implementations provide both in some form or the other, but only Common Lisp explicitly provides them.

:greatest-language-ever - points to the symbol with the string "GREATEST-LANGUAGE-EVER" located in the KEYWORD package.
'#:greatest-language-ever - creates a new uninterned symbol by the name "GREATEST-LANGUAGE-EVER". Uninterned means it does not belong to any package, and will get garbage collected if not used.

Both cases assume (eq (readtable-case *readtable*) :upcase) is true.
