Why ES6 introduced classes yet `Symbol` not to be used with `new`?

[Oriol Bugzilla]

Probably, because symbols are primitive values, and constructors only create and initialize objects.


So you are supposed to call it as a function instead of as a a constructor.


That said, it might make sense for `new Symbol()` to return a symbol object. But instead, you can use


```javascript

Object(Symbol());

```
