Serious eq? bug?


Consider the following:

   hjstein@bacall:~$ guile
   guile> (eq? (string->symbol "-a") '-a)
   #t
   guile> (eq? (string->symbol "-b") '-b)
   #t
   guile> (eq? (string->symbol "-i") '-i)
   #f

Is this expected behavior for an R4RS scheme which supports complex
number?  If so, it's a real pain in the ass for command line
processing...
