 There is data duplication here and as noted in a replies to 1/5 and 3/5 I 
think ultimately we should merge this information into one piece and given 
that `dot_symbol' carries everything that `dot_frag'/`dot_value' do I feel 
it's the latter pair that should go with all the references updated to use 
`dot_symbol' instead.
