Yes, it should.
Note that not all EXPR_SYMBOL are really symbols in the C sense. As
mentioned in another thread, you can also have anonymous symbols -
they act kind of like a named variable, just without the name.
The most common case of an anonymous symbol is a constant string, but
we do the general case of "cast followed by an initializer" as an
anonymous symbol of any type.
