When to use string vs. symbol in serialization #6

Closed mlanghinrichs closed 4 years ago

Current consensus:

field names default to symbol
field values default to string
field values may optionally be specified to be a string

Resolving this issue as obsolete, not because it is obsolete, but mostly because it's confusing without context. This was from a discussion about how to serialize arbitrary structs as Ion, not about how to serialize a Value.
