As noted, this loses symbol uniqueness but avoids string vs. string name
collisions in objects. It takes on string-name collisions in the
intern'ed symbol table of course. That may be more manageable. Or not!

Dave Herman mentioned another idea: intern'ing strings as symbols.
You'd lose uniqueness but avoid colliding with any string. So
public @iterator = Symbol.intern('iterator');
Is this much better than just using 'iterator' or dunder-iterator?
Apologies, but what would interning a string as a symbol mean?
Different frames could load a module that does this and the symbol
would be interned as a singleton in all connected realms.
The rendezvous would be on the name, so of course collisions are
possible. Symbol.intern('org.ecma-international.es6.iterator') -- blech!
