After reading http://news.dartlang.org/2013/04/goodbye-invocationmirror-hello.html, I know the reason. But, I don't think it can save much. Even though Symbol doesn't keep the name, the application has to. After all, the use of mirrors is mostly based on some kind of naming convention. And, the names won't be know in advance, so it has to to be stored somewhere in the app (and no way to make it constant objects).

I don't think there's any intention of making this change, at least at this point in time. Closing for now.
