/// An interned string.
///
/// Internally, `egg` frequently compares [`Var`]s and elements of
/// [`Language`]s. To keep comparisons fast, `egg` provides [`Symbol`] a simple
/// wrapper providing interned strings.
///
/// You may wish to use [`Symbol`] in your own [`Language`]s to increase
/// performance and keep enode sizes down (a [`Symbol`] is only 4 bytes,
/// compared to 24 for a `String`.)
///
/// A [`Symbol`] is simply a wrapper around an integer.
/// When creating a [`Symbol`] from a string, `egg` looks up it up in a global
/// table, returning the index (inserting it if not found).
/// That integer is used to cheaply implement
/// `Copy`, `Clone`, `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, and `Hash`.
///
/// The internal symbol cache leaks the strings, which should be
/// fine if you only put in things like variable names and identifiers.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use egg::Symbol;
///
/// assert_eq!(Symbol::from("foo"), Symbol::from("foo"));
/// assert_eq!(Symbol::from("foo"), "foo".parse().unwrap());
///
/// assert_ne!(Symbol::from("foo"), Symbol::from("bar"));
/// ```
///
/// [`Var`]: struct.Var.html
/// [`Symbol`]: struct.Symbol.html
/// [`Language`]: trait.Language.html
