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.)
