In this context, "symbols" means the name of all functions, events, global 
variables and constants declared in the module. It is not actually just the 
name, but all the declaration associated with them (datatypes, and arguments 
for functions).

When a symbol is public, the name and the declaration is accessible from the 
outside. Otherwise it is local to the module, and is not visible at all from 
the outside.
