>From Pharo By Example:
Symbols are like Strings, in that they contain a sequence of characters.
However, unlike a string, a literal symbol is guaranteed to be globally
unique. There is only one Symbol object #Hello but there *may be* multiple
String objects with the value 'Hello'.

According to the above:
Strings -> 1+ per value
Symbols -> always one per value

Where did you get that Strings are guaranteed not to be 1 per value?
