gh_new_procedure uses scm_sysintern, which in most cases is
equal to scm_intern. When you define a lambda, 
you use make_subr in hobbit compiled code, which is a
call to scm_make_gsubr, so it is the same as gh_new_procedure. But for
defining non-lambda objects, scm_intern is used. 
This is perhaps a bug, I will verify this. The answer is not immediate, as
in eval.c, the code for define does not call these functions.

Here I believe the code is the documentation...
