> Symbol is a built-in object whose constructor returns a symbol primitive — also called a Symbol value or just a Symbol — that's guaranteed to be unique. Symbols are often used to add unique property keys to an object that won't collide with keys any other code might add to the object, and which are hidden from any mechanisms other code will typically use to access the object. That enables a form of weak encapsulation, or a weak form of information hiding. > Prior to well-known Symbols, JavaScript used normal properties to implement certain built-in operations. For example, the JSON.stringify function will attempt to call each object's toJSON() method, and the String function will call the object's toString() and valueOf() methods. However, as more operations are added to the language, designating each operation a "magic property" can break backward compatibility and make the language's behavior harder to reason with. Well-known Symbols allow the customizations to be "invisible" from normal code, which typically only read string properties. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... Essentially if they use dispose() like you mention, what happens if someone already has code that has dispose? And in future, avoid people accidentally calling these.
