The variable named `object` is the one holding OBJECT.
You can't test OBJECT to find if some other variable may hold it
as well.

Here, you're returning the name of OBJECT when OBJECT is a symbol.
But that doesn't mean that the variable of that name (if it exists)
holds OBJECT (unless OBJECT is a symbol whose value is itself, which is
unusual but does occur occasionally).
