Remarks

One member, and it is a sentinel: something a resolver or a caller can name when there is nothing real to name.

This was a grab-bag of some 140 static symbols — a table of every operator symbol, named accessors into that table, an ExtensionSymbols nest of per-type Byte.Min/Long.Max constants, a StaticSymbols nest of True/Nothing/vbNullString, and an Initialize that seeded an index with the operators. Exactly one of them was ever read by any code, and only for its declared type — which the type itself already names — and nothing called Initialize at all. Together they looked like a language model; measured, they were a list of names nobody could resolve, because nothing ever put them in a scope.

The real thing they gestured at is StdLibSymbolProvider: a symbol provider whose symbols reach the scope tree, so a name like vbNullString actually binds. Anything from the old nests that is genuinely part of the language belongs there — declared once, resolvable — rather than here as a static field.
