Implementing [change] as an abstraction, you can see it depends on
[==]. The notion of equality exists for Symbols. Therefore such a [change]
would support Symbols if [==] did.

However another line of extension for [change] would involve
some arithmetic... [change] could take a "margin of error" argument.
