Unable to construct a new shared symbol table

[pbcornell]

All implementations of ISymbolTable are within the Internals namespace, and I don't see a way for code outside the library to construct an new instance. SharedSymbolTableTest does so by calling SharedSymbolTable.NewSharedSymbolTable(), but that's an internal method.

Is this functionality intentionally not exposed at this time, or am I simply not seeing how it is exposed?

This was intentionally made internal. The functionality falls into "advanced APIs" category.

Thank you for clarifying; agreed it makes sense for this to be internal until we're prepared to support this more advanced functionality.
