Summary:

Rename "generate-temporaries" to "generate-symbols" (or, barring that, 
"generate-identifiers").

Description:

The function generates symbols (or, more specifically, identifiers). 
"Temporaries" refers not to the result, but rather to one possible use of 
the result. Since the other two terms already have meaning in Scheme (eg, 
"symbol?", "identifier?", etc.) it seems like it would be a good idea to 
leverage those meanings rather than introducing a new one.
