If some page uses console.log(Symbol('foo')), I should be able to right-click the symbol in the console and choose "Store as global variable". Currently it's greyed out in the new console.
This comes in 2 parts: - We are missing the `data-link-actor-id` attribute in the Symbol rep, which is what enable or not the context menu entry. - We are missing the actor reference in the Symbol packet (http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/server/actors/object.js#2378-2386, which prevents us from adding the attribute).
Priority: -- → P5

After bug 1424722 adds symbol actors and https://github.com/devtools-html/devtools-core/pull/879 adds the `data-link-actor-id` attribute, then this test should pass.
