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;

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