Symbols are collectable.  They are collectable in 2.0 as well.

Depending on the context, it may be worth considering using non-symbols
if all you need is a unique object -- some freshly allocated object will
do.  That's for when you know that X is just an identifier of some kind
(you don't have to dispatch on its type, etc).
