TODO says:

> ** Write scheme-describe-symbol and scheme-describe-object.
> 
> scheme-describe-symbol describes a symbol literally.
> scheme-describe-object describes the object associated with a symbol.

What exactly would scheme-describe-symbol tell the user about the
symbol, other than its name?

How does scheme-describe-object choose the module where it takes
the definition of the symbol?  (Common Lisp has different symbols
in different packages... Guile doesn't.)
