Doesn't this look like having redundant information?

No, IMO. It conveys that it's a symbol wrapped in an object; i.e., that typeof object === 'object' but that typeof object.valueOf() === 'symbol'.

@thefourtheye I think learning the difference between Symbol(test) and [Symbol: test] might be a bit harder for people new to symbols.

This way might not be perfect, but I think the consistency with how other boxed values are displayed makes it easier to reason about what exactly is being displayed.
