Hi all, I've tried to glean this from the meeting notes and such, but many who were actively involved are on the list, so:
Am I right that Symbols started out as "private Name objects" then over time their name was changed, they became primitives, and the privacy aspect was dropped; but having guaranteed-unique values was still useful, and found application (amongst other places) in solving the problem of adding a default iterator to `Array.prototype` without name conflicts with existing code in the wild? Thanks, -- T.J. Crowder
