Make Smart Guides work consistently with Symbols

Precise work with Symbols is difficult/impossible because it's treated differently by Smart Guides than normal artwork.

Anchor/Path Labels are not displayed on Symbol-ized artwork
It's not possible to grab Symbol-ized artwork by a path segment (only anchors) making precise alignment impossible
