Description

Conditional Contributions are really handy during testing and I now have a number of features that I can turn on or off during development/testing. However, now there are several options, it's not particularly convenient to configure them through system properties; it would be nicer to have a single file containing all the flags.

I can create this single file and expose it as a SymbolSource, but conditional contributions cannot use the value of a symbol from a SymbolSource.

Please could you enhance the conditional contribution expressions to allow me to specify the name of a symbol from a SymbolSource.
