We can collect all symbol/keyword literals during analysis - we can emit a
static symbol/keyword table at the top and replace with direct identifiers
when we compile. We can change the symbols/keyword fn to create
symbol/keyword instances and intern them in a runtime table (the static
table will be obfuscated away).

That's the basic sketch I have in mind.
