Create a symbol without replacing art with the symbol.
I would like a switch in the New Symbol dialogue to allow me to leave the original art on the canvas instead of replacing it with a symbol.
Also it would be nice to be able to make a symbol out of the entire contents of a layer nested in another layer without the entire layer being replaced by the symbol.
I use symbols in weird ways and both of these behaviors annoy the heck out of me.

Margaret, when I need to create symbols without converting objects to symbols instantly, I use Astute Graphics’ Object > Create Symbol Variants command with 'Delete Selected ...' unchecked.
But sure it should be a native choice.
