Well, the 1980 progarm Paradise by David Wilkins also has a pattern matching
subsystem.  So, Symbolic is the second chess progarm and not the first with this
feature.

However, Symbolic is different from Paradise in many ways (see my LJ entries at
http://www.livejournal.com/users/chessnotation/ for more details), with perhaps
the most important distinction being that Symbolic is intended to be a
competitive program and so includes more than a demonstartion of tactical
planning.
