/**
 * A special object that can be used to refer to [IrDeclaration]s and some other entities from IR nodes.
 *
 * For example, [IrCall] uses [IrSimpleFunctionSymbol] to refer to the [IrSimpleFunction] that is being called.
 *
 * **Q:** Why not just use the [IrSimpleFunction] class itself?
 *
 * **A:** Because a symbol, unlike a declaration, can be bound or unbound (see [isBound]).
 *
 * We need this distinction to work with IR before the linkage phase. In pre-linkage IR the symbols referencing declarations from
 * other modules are not yet bound.
 *
 * During the linkage phase, we collect all the unbound symbols in the IR tree and try to resolve them to the declarations they should
 * refer to. For unbound symbols for public declarations from other modules, [signature] is used to resolve those declarations.

     * **Q:** Why we didn't make this property nullable instead of throwing an exception?
     *
     * **A:** Because we most often need to access a symbol's owner in lowerings, which happen after linkage, at which point all symbols
     * should be already bound. Declaring this property nullable would make working with it more difficult most of the time.
