Why do we need to retain the old behavior? You yourself said that no one will find this option to use it. My vote is to have the new behavior as the only one. The mess with "set print" and p/a is already too much, even without an additional knob. But if we must have it, I would suggest to call it "set print no-symbol", and have it off by default. (Yes, I know: double negation is not an ideal situation, but it is IMO better than the aggravation from the need to type more to disambiguate the command for completion.)
