Symbol used to be a pointer to SymbolBody, and the relationship between Symbol and SymbolBody was 1:n. However, because Peter made a change to allocate them next to each other, the relationship is now 1:1. So, there's no reason to keep them separated anymore. Unifying them simplifies the relationships between symbol classes.</div></div></div>
