I tried implementing `"symbol-props"` in my doc generator application. It
is a bit easier with the map style
```JSON
{
"type": "enum",
"symbols": ["zero", "one", "two"],
"symbol-props": {
"zero": {},
"one": { "doc": "uno" }
}
}
```
than with the array style
```JSON
{
"type": "enum",
"symbols": ["zero", "one", "two"],
"symbol-props": [
{ "name": "zero" },
{ "name": "one", "doc": "uno" }
]
}
```
because my application can loop over the value of `"symbols"` and use a JSON
DOM method to easily look up the corresponding entry from the `"symbol-props"`
map. In the array style, the symbol names are in the `"name"` properties, and
my application has to construct a dictionary from those before it starts
looping over `"symbols"`.
But perhaps consistency with record schemas is more important than
convenience here.
