    Symbols represent unique strings - every symbol with same printString

    exists exactly once in the system; Symbols are used for selectors, global

    variable-keys etc. Symbols can also be used to represent things which are

    enumeration type values in other programming languages (since symbols are

    created at compile time, comparing them using == is a fast pointer compare).

    A symbol may not change its characters - i.e. it is constant over its lifetime.

    Other than that, symbols behave much like strings.
