Re: [whatwg/streams] Convert internal slot accesses in the reference implementation to use symbols (#443)

I'm not sure what v8 private symbols are.  In spidermonkey we always access internal slots via an integer index.  The code in our tree uses a name for the constant, but these are converted and the shipped code only has integers.  So we have no real way to do things like "if object has slot FooBarBaz", because different object constants could make to the same integer.

What do v8 private symbols do?
