Proposal to deprecate and remove symbol literals

[AMatveev]

@SethTisue

Most DSLs that use symbol literals don’t need interning and could therefore use string literals instead, at the cost of only one additiona character per literall.

I think it is optimistic suggestions.
IMHO: if a constant does not require closing tag it is just more simple constant.
I have the reflex:

1. type s""
2. move cursor back
3. type constant
4. move cursor forrward

And the second and fourth step a little bit annoy if they have no sense.

I agree with this proposal but I will miss for the simple constants.
