Yes, that’s true, the current design is not wrong. There’s a bit of code
duplication, and that led to me think about unifying and generalizing it,
and I wanted to know your thoughts. I guess the alternative design would
make more sense if the code was triplicated (if there were 3 kinds of
symbols), but I don’t see that coming. A third alternative would be to move
some methods to CharacterSequence, but I’m not convinced that’s better
either.
