I think having Class Templates in JavaScript would be awesome thing and
should be implemented. But that’s just my opinion.

I could definitely see usage of this when using custom Constructors. But this
could confuse current code of JS:
```js
function A(B, C) {
if(typeof B === ‘string’) // ...
}
A({[Symbol.typeof]: ‘string’})
```
This would make new code to use not only `typeof B === ‘String’`, but also `B

`.constructor` is unreliable, and can be easily forged - of course,
`Symbol.typeof` would create the same unreliability with one of the few

My thought was Symbol.typeof could improve both reliability and flexibility. It
could be abused, but no more than Symbol.toStringTag. My use case is putting
classes into “namespaces”. With [Symbol.typeof] =
“Collections.Lists.LinkedList”, I can get the qualified type of the object. I
can also u
Symbol.toStringTag can be used for this purpose now (and it already
unfortunately destroyed the reliability of
`Object.prototype.toString.call`).

Right. Misappropriating a symbol corrupts its intent. As ES moves in a more
towards a more "class-ish" feel, and people start writing more classes, a
type/namespace system isn't far behind. Implementing some symbols to support
this helps drive some standard approaches and discourages symbol
