// Sym represents an object name in a segmented (pkg, name) namespace.
// Most commonly, this is a Go identifier naming an object declared within a package,
// but Syms are also used to name internal synthesized objects.
//
// As an exception, field and method names that are exported use the Sym
// associated with localpkg instead of the package that declared them. This
// allows using Sym pointer equality to test for Go identifier uniqueness when
// handling selector expressions.
//
// Ideally, Sym should be used for representing Go language constructs,
// while cmd/internal/obj.LSym is used for representing emitted artifacts.
//
// NOTE: In practice, things can be messier than the description above
// for various reasons (historical, convenience).
