I'm going to revert to specifying Symbol as an exotic objects. Treating it as a new primitive types just creates too many places where it needs to be explicitly dealt with and sets the wrong precedent for future extensible value types based upon immutable objects. However, typeof Symbol() will still be "symbol".
