I am not sure if we would benefit much from this in Marginalia, since we
would still have to check the type of the symbol.
What about adding the extended `symbol-class` function from Marginalia
directly to help-fns.el? Note that the Marginalia function returns
multiple characters "fv" if a symbol denotes both a function and a variable.
Do you want to keep the `symbol-class` to be a single character under
all circumstances?
