During the meeting I tried to make the point that symbols would be
better for objects that have named getters, such as HTMLCollection:
<div id=@iterator></div>
<script>alert(document.getElementsByTagName("div")["@iterator"])</script>
Of course, web compatibility may or may not be impacted here and if
not we may be able to make named getters more complicated by not
looking at @-prefixed strings, but symbols have none of that. We could
of course also not make HTMLCollection iterable, but that seems like a
shame.
