Fun with symbols

Jannik can you
- write a test
- add a bug entry

This would be to align this point. And also verify it in VW, Squeak and other.

Hi guys,

Something I did not know and I would like to share:
what is the result of "#a < #9" ? DNU !

When I expected to compare two symbols, in fact "#9 class" returns SmallInteger.
So if I want to compare two symbols, I have to do "#a < #'9' ".

Kind of small fun things !
Cheers,

Jannik
