 (export (intern "SHOES" (make-package 'temp)) 'temp) =>  T
 (find-symbol "SHOES") =>  NIL, NIL
 (use-package 'temp) =>  T
 (find-symbol "SHOES") =>  SHOES, :INHERITED
 (find (find-package 'temp) (package-use-list 'common-lisp-user)) =>  #<PACKAGE "TEMP">
 (unuse-package 'temp) =>  T
 (find-symbol "SHOES") =>  NIL, NIL
