Symbol.keyFor() — consistent round-trip

📖 Usage Example
const key = 'userId'
const s = Symbol.for(key)
Symbol.keyFor(s) === key   // → true

Symbol.for(key) and Symbol.keyFor(sym) are inverse operations — a perfect round-trip.

Symbol.keyFor Round-Trip

A symbol registered with Symbol.for(key) can always be recovered: Symbol.keyFor(Symbol.for(key)) === key.

Challenge: Verify the round-trip is consistent.
