And this is how it currently works in the V8 implementation. The first

     var s = new Symbol();
     var x = {};

I was surprised to find that this threw an error instead of doing the (to
me) obvious thing.
(And to clarify, it throws on line 3, not line 1)
This is nuts.

May I humbly remind you that we explicitly discussed and decided this
at the March meeting?

If it's nuts now, it was nuts in March :-P.

  I actually would have preferred if 'new Symbol'
worked, and that was what V8 implemented before the meeting.

You are right, I see this in the March 14 meeting notes. So I'm pleading temporary insanity. We'll have to reestablish consensus. I will refrain from more (self-)analysis ;-).
