Symbols seems like a good way to do this, but since the ECMA spec doesn't define anything about IO, I don't think this would be their responsibility. This seems more like something the console API spec would expose, e.g. `console.inspect`, where the `Symbol.XX` namespace would be reserved for ECMAScript-builtin symbols.
