Re: How primitive are Symbols? Bignums? etc

[Brandon Benvie]

Another factor I haven't seen mentioned but that I think is important is 
introducing a new primitive that has no literal form is another rough 
edge/inconsistency that will be confusing. Having to use a factory to 
make them makes me want to use `new` with that factory. But using `new` 
should always return an object from the builtins, ergo Symbols objects 
(whether wrappers or not) should be usable (either through 
auto-unwrapping or no primitive form) or some inconsistency or another 
will be introduced.
