I am slightly unhappy with this name. If we had an atom that lets you ask "Is this a symref?" and yields "" or "->", it could also be called symref, and we would name it "is_symref" or something to disambiguate it. Then it is only fair to give this one that lets you ask "What does this symref point at?" a bit more specific name, like "symref_target" or something. But probably I am worried too much. "is_symref", if necessary, can be written as "%(if:notequals=)%(symref)%(then)...%(else)...%(end)" and it is not likely that it would be used often, so let's keep it as-is.
