Is there a need to pick symbols from a buffer as symbols? Don't know. My use-case is editing and strings are the suitable format.Of course there is. And not just symbols, but numbers, lists...Sorry for the confusion. I was thinking of `list-at-point' etc., and not `thing-at-point', which always returns a string (or it should, at least - see my previous msg).
AFAIU the symbol-at-point-as-symbol idea and thing-at-point are two different conceptions.
BTW can't see a use-case of form-at-point for know - while having some in mind ;)
Thanks, Andreas
