Exactly! In fact, even better is this method from BCSymbolSet:
- (BCSymbol *)symbolForChar:(unichar)aChar

This is another nice thing with the symbolSet. It bridges chars and  
BCSymbol. The method returns nil if the symbol is not in the set  
(like 'member:' for NSSet, or 'objectForKey:' for NSDictionary). The  
BCSequence can use the BCSymbolSet to filter the right chars.
