#663 — Specify Symbol (formerly Name) per Sept 19 Resolution


Resolution:

- we agree that names are now called symbols (Name => Symbol)
- new alternatives for syntax to bind a "Unique Symbol" will be a keyword, one of: public, unique, or symbol ie. public @foo; vs symbol @foo; vs unique @foo;


Symbol exotic objects are now defined in chapter 8.

We still need to define where the Symbol factory function (constructor?) lives.
