Symbol Structure

Internal type that implements the XBase Compatible SYMBOL type.
This type has many operators and implicit converters that normally are never directly called from user code.
There are also some operators that handle implicit conversions between Symbols and Strings in your code.

Remarks

Tip
The SYMBOL type is included in the X# language and runtime for compatibility only. In most cases the type can and should be replaced with normal strings.
