’Tis a Silly Place
King Arthur and the Knights approach Symbol land. Through the gates they see: unique identifiers that can’t be converted to strings, a global registry that nobody remembers asking for, and well-known symbols with names like Symbol:to-primitive.
“’Tis a silly place,” says Arthur.
“But Symbol:iterator is how for-of works,” says a Knight who has been paying attention since Chapter 21.
“And Symbol:to-primitive is how objects control their type coercion,” adds another, who has been paying attention since Chapter 5.
“…Fine. We’ll stay for one section. Maybe two.”
