Is a type not a symbol?

says that an AliasSeq (wording needs to be updated) "is a sequence of any 
mix of types, expressions or symbols."

Is a type not a symbol? I mean, alias can refer to both, no?

Keywords aren't symbols so `int` is a type, but not a symbol and 
thus qualifies as `T` but not as `alias T`.
