This new dependency also introduces some other transitive dependencies which themselves seem to do the stuff we already have (kind-of looks a lot like type-detect), so I'm a little hesitant to introduce this. If anything I'd like to work on reducing the type-detect dependency as I'm not totally convinced it's necessary with modern engines.

To fix #85 issue it seems as though we could use .toString() instead, or perhaps a try/catch.

@keithamus I'm hitting the same issue but with actual symbols, not just urls

I don't see any dependencies to default-compare-with-symbol in fact the code is also quite small
https://www.npmjs.com/package/default-compare-with-symbol?activeTab=dependencies

Worst case we can just make the function in the lib, this is exactly what the dep does:

function defaultCompare(a, b) {
    const typeA = a === null ? 'null' : typeof a;
    const typeB = b === null ? 'null' : typeof b;
    if (typeA === 'null' || typeA === 'undefined') {
        switch (typeB) {
            case typeA:
                return 0;
            case 'null':
                return -1;
            default:
                return 1;
        }
    }
    switch (true) {
        case a < b:
            return -1;
        case a > b:
            return 1;
    }

    return 0;
}

function extendedCompare(a, b) {
    const typeB = typeof b;
    if (typeof a === 'symbol') {
        return typeB === 'symbol' ? defaultCompare(String(a), String(b)) : -1;
    } else if (typeB === 'symbol') {
        return 1;
    }

    return defaultCompare(a, b)
}
