Gets the description of a Symbol. Handles `Symbol()` vs `Symbol('')` properly when possible.

## Example

```js
var getSymbolDescription = require('get-symbol-description');
var assert = require('assert');

assert(getSymbolDescription(Symbol()) === undefined);
assert(getSymbolDescription(Symbol('')) === ''); // or `undefined`, if in an engine that lacks name inference from concise method
assert(getSymbolDescription(Symbol('foo')) === 'foo');
assert(getSymbolDescription(Symbol.iterator) === 'Symbol.iterator');
```

## Tests
Simply clone the repo, `npm install`, and run `npm test`
