Probably my concern is solely imaginative:
let's consider a case, where a program checks for
symbolp and makes action depend from it.
Then you may have changed situation by calling
symbol-at-point while editing some code.
Its a little bit as url-at-point would not simply
return the string, but follow that url then.
Or email-at-point would call the mailer.
