It might be useful to expose this functionality with a more obvious name, to underscore that you lose the secrecy/unforgability. Symbol.public()?
We are mooting public as the keyword for non-private but unique symbols, so that's ambiguous. ReallyPublic? :-P We want to capture the singleton sharing, and 'intern' is the jargon word to use. For the jargon-disabled, I'm not sure what to use, but perhaps teaching people about intern'ing is better than using some long Java-esque name.
