None of my recent patches changed XBARE_SYMBOL. If XBARE_SYMBOL should 
test something it isn't currently testing, then that is a bug that has 
been present for some time.

However, I don't see a bug there. XBARE_SYMBOL should be used only on 
bare symbols, regardless of whether symbols_with_pos_enabled is set.

Perhaps you meant to write XSYMBOL instead of XBARE_SYMBOL? If so, I'm 
still not following, and more explanation would be helpful. What call to 
XSYMBOL formerly would have an eassert failure when debugging, but now 
won't have that failure?
