  Class Symbol
  what the parser expects to receive from the lexer. 
  the token is identified as follows:
  sym:    the symbol type
  parse_state: the parse state.
  value:  is the lexical value of type Object
  left :  is the left position in the original input file
  right:  is the right position in the original input file
  xleft:  is the left position Object in the original input file
  xright:  is the left position Object in the original input file
