It's hard to specify what a valid symbol is, though -- not just
because of the new string-like behaviors, but because symbols get put
in the table even if they're not valid identifiers. Here's a 1.8.6
demo:
>> s = Symbol.all_symbols; 1
=> 1
>> class C; define_method("good morning, everyone!") {}; end
=> #<Proc:0x00000000@(irb):2>
>> t = Symbol.all_symbols; 1
=> 1
>> t - s
=> [:C, :"good morning, everyone!"]
>> Object.new.send("this will be put in the sym table")
NoMethodError: undefined method `this will be put in the sym table'
for #<Object:0x31bc30>
from (irb):5:in `send'
from (irb):5
>> u = Symbol.all_symbols; 1
=> 1
>> u - t
=> [:u, :"this will be put in the sym table"]
I tend to agree about the hybrid nature of symbols in 1.9. I don't
know why one would ever need to do a swapcase operation on a symbol,
for example (though there could of course be use cases I'm not
thinking of).
