      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "9"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9+181)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode)


      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When the __proto__ property is accessed for a symbol, the message of the thrown TypeError is a format string with a {0} placeholder.


      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Run: jjs --language=es6

      jjs> var sym = Symbol('foo');
      jjs> sym.__proto__
      ECMAScript Exception: TypeError: {0} is not a symbol.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Unsure, but not a raw format string.

      Node doesn't throw an error:

      > var s = Symbol('foo')
      undefined
      > s.__proto__
      Symbol {}
      ACTUAL -
      ECMAScript Exception: TypeError: {0} is not a symbol.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
