I think Symbolic is an interesting project, simply because it is different.
Whether it works or (probably) doesn't work, it provides a new datapoint, and
perhaps some new perspective.  However, Steven's *plans* for symbolic are not
nearly as interesting as his *results*, and the former has been much more
forthcoming than the latter.
