this PR replaces backtick by
__
(double underscore) in gensym symbols.rationale:
`
is confusing, eg in js it causes this code:to escape the backtick via
HEX60
which obfuscates the code for no reason:x0HEX60gensym0_704643076
it's hard to backtick X`gensymY (eg in docs etc) because it contains a backtick
double underscore is already illegal in nim so there is no risk of accidental conflation
