>> * The core team requests that #symbol be split out into a separate proposal, because it needs more detailed design work, and is an additive feature.  For example, it might be appealing to provide a "#mangledName” expression that provides the current symbol as a mangled name: when fed into a demangler, a more structured form of the current symbol would be available.

A few q's:

* #mangledname, I presume? To retain lowercase? 
* Do you want #symbol (e.g. Swift.Dictionary.Foo(_: Int, y: CustomType)) pushed now or saved for post 3.0? (Although SE-0021 is in 2.2?)
* Will #context/#releasecontext/#debugcontext be split out to a separate proposal or dropped entirely?

And thank you all again,
