My point is: concatenating Symbols with other strings have legitimate uses. Name one.I did name one in another message. Logging.
That's a use-case for some way (could be concatenation, but as noted the downside risk is huge; could be a new Reflect method) to convert symbol to string. Explicit is better than implicit. Saying "Logging" does not say "allow implicit symbol to string conversion".
I agree that String(sym) working where ''+sym throws is funky (my word in this thread). We could make both throw, with a Reflect.symbolToString or whatever it might be called. ES6 is about out of time, this may not fly, but if it is possible it has to be done quickly.
