tiny.preserves.Symbol

1/// A symbol's name, held as a byte slice. The package root's `isRecord` takes a label as one, and2/// `symbolEql` compares one with a symbol's bytes. The struct is a separate type from a symbol3/// value (`Value.symbol`), and the constants here are of this type.4pub const Symbol = struct {5    /// The symbol's bytes. Every constant in this file points at a string literal, so the bytes6    /// live for the whole program.7    name: []const u8,89    /// Returns true when `a` and `b` have the same bytes. The file's test is its one caller.10    pub fn eql(a: Symbol, b: Symbol) bool {11        return std.mem.eql(u8, a.name, b.name);12    }1314    /// Returns the byte order of `a`'s name against `b`'s.
