Since newly created Symbols are interned and that involves finding a
hash to work out where to put them in the tables, I rather suspect it is
a non-issue.

I would point out that I was rather surprised to see a large number of
Objects in the Symbol class var 'SymbolTable'. Surely just Symbols ought
to be in there? Is this some sideffect of WeakArray?
