== Why is this an issue?
``++Symbol++`` is a primitive type introduced in ECMAScript2015. Its instances are mainly used as unique property keys.
An instance can only be created by using ``++Symbol++`` as a function. Using ``++Symbol++`` with the ``++new++`` operator will raise a ``++TypeError++``.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,javascript]
----
const sym = new Symbol("foo"); // Noncompliant
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,javascript]
----
const sym = Symbol("foo");
