Symmetric tensors are of the form
A_{ij} = A_{ji}
or
A{(ij)(kl)} = A_{(kl),(ij)}
or similar if you had 6 or 8 indices.

I think what I'm unsure about is what sort of symmetry relationship you
would impose on rank-3 symmetric tensors? If you explain what exactly such
a tensor is, then we can think about implementing it.
