/*
 * The runtime-wide symbol registry, used to implement Symbol.for().
 *
 * ES6 draft rev 25 (2014 May 22) calls this the GlobalSymbolRegistry List. In
 * our implementation, it is not global. There is one per JSRuntime. The
 * symbols in the symbol registry, like all symbols, are allocated in the atoms
 * compartment and can be directly referenced from any compartment. They are
 * never shared across runtimes.
 *
 * The memory management strategy here is modeled after js::AtomSet. It's like
 * a WeakSet. The registry itself does not keep any symbols alive; when a
 * symbol in the registry is collected, the registry entry is removed. No GC
 * nondeterminism is exposed to scripts, because there is no API for
 * enumerating the symbol registry, querying its size, etc.
