After editing that sentence a couple of times, I completely changed the
meaning into something quite confusing. A symbol *always* refers to a
string. That should read:

The symbol argument should refer to a string that is the name of a
method. To create that symbol you take the method name and put a ":" in
front of it.

I hope that s.
