        <pre>Current get_by_val only considers the indexed keys, it profiles ArrayMode (or checks whether the base is String), and generates vector access code in baseline JIT.
And this profiled array mode information is leveraged in DFG layer to produce the faster code.

But after ES6 symbols are used, this IC miss the optimization chance since users will use the indexed access form `object[symbol]` with non-indexed (symbol) value.

Code generated by the IC will become the following,

if (subscript != seenSymbol)
    bailout;
... normal load by IC code (checking Structures and load the value with the offset)</pre>
