Description

Symbol literals have the syntax--constant syntax--other classes attached to them and are thus highlighted as constants which is incorrect. They should be highlighted like symbols and have syntax--constant syntax--other syntax--symbol classes.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Type the following in a ruby file:

   %i(thing) 
   %I(thing #{thing})
   :thing 

2. Notice all instances of thing on the first two lines are a different color than the last thing instance.

Expected behavior:

All instances of thing should be the same color.

Actual behavior:

They are a different color.

Reproduces how often:

100%
