Description
When devaluing a Symbol with either devalue.uneval or devalue.stringify, the description string is printed as is instead of keeping it as a string.
devalue.uneval(Symbol("test")) // "Symbol(test)"
devalue.uneval(Symbol("test\n")) // "Symbol(test
// )"

Research direction
Start by reproducing the examples through the devalue.uneval and devalue.stringify entry points, including the description containing a newline. Trace how Symbol descriptions are rendered and verify that special characters remain part of a valid string rather than being printed literally.
