Export symbols as symbols, not text
When I export documents with Symbol fields to JSON, the Symbol fields are converted to text, regardless of which of the Advanced JSON Format settings I choose. Symbol and text fields aren't the same! The JSON format should export Symbols as Symbols, e.g. "type": {"$symbol": "text"} instead of "type": "text", similar to what it does with dates and ObjectIDs.
