How do I convert a symbol to a string in Julia? The following don't work:
String(:A)
convert(String,:A)
They did work in Julia version 0.4.

You could use the string function:
julia> string(:A)
"A"
However as of Julia 1.5.1 String(symb) also seems to work:
julia> String(:A)
"A"
However String(:A) is the recommended method as it just directly creates the String object from Symbol and hence is 3x faster.
